Thanks, ihf, for the back up on the bad outdoor lighting david, I like how you strive to improve with every photo you take , it definitely shows, your work is kick ass.
As for monitor calibration, I agree to am extent. Like david said, his images all look the same on all his devices. And white balance will take care of the skin tone issues for straight off the camera. But when people arr doing heavy editing, such as the OP, they should probably calibrate to avoid the awkward neon skin tones.

And buggersmom, if you enjoy florabella’s editing tutorials, I suggest finding stock images to practice on first. You cant exactly use techniques like that to improve your images if they arent high quality to begin with.
