Here are two young girls by Bouguereau called "Hazelnuts."

And then one more two person composition by W.B., which will no doubt be forthcoming for these girls.

Mike--

Regarding the one in question with strong colors, I don't think it's just colors reflecting off of the environment. It looks like a classic case of using daylight film when the predominant light is tungsten--if it were film (I realize it's not). Would your digital camera be keying off of the window somehow unintentionally?

If the camera was set for warm tungsten light, the window would read bluer, I'd guess.

I just find it hard to believe that all of the contamination on the girls is reflected color bouncing onto them. I've been wrong before, but it looks like a wayward camera setting to me.

Cheers--TE
