I put a new head on my oldest son and now I'm trying to adjust the colors and I just can't seem to get it right. I'm looking for suggestions. Please help!

Thanks!

The entire picture looks really red to me. Have you tried pulling the red out of it and maybe adding a cooling filter? That sometimes works for me.

As Kim said, there is a really bad red reflective color cast from the surroundings. It would be a LOT of work and masking to fix this as it's not a WB balance issue but a reflective color cast issue. For me, if this were my shot I would either do a fun b/w conversion or a fun color creative edit. I personally would not attempt to correct this!

Ok, here's my really quick try. There are still some redness here and there on the boys...but it was a start. Then you could maybe do some masking to finish it off.

However, I agree with Crystal. If I ever get a picture that is just too much work to correct, I usually opt to go black and white.
