Colour temperature and you

A word about colour temperature: here I've gone for a slightly cooler colour (about 5200k) and I feel that it works well for this particular image. I didn't want Ed's headshot to be overly warm so it was a judgment call on where to put it. I went cooler because I felt that his skin tone could take it. On another day I might have gone a bit warmer. That is the beauty of digital photography. You can go back and re-process the original digital negative as many times as you like until you are happy. So if the client came back to me and said he wanted something a little warmer then I would oblige. It's a question of taste but also of what the purpose of the image is: in this case a business headshot.
