Rich - Your skin tones are usually spot on. But I'm afraid this time I'm seeing too much orange in her skin, especially on the left side of her face (left as we perceive it, not her left). In fact, even though I'm only taking a color reading on a low-res photo you have posted here so it can't be 100% accurate, I can still see 44% of yellow versus 34% magenta, and according to skin retouching experts, it should be the other way around. I'm wondering if it was done in post processing, or if the flower gave her skin an overcast. Just a thought I though I'd share.
Thanks for the comment, Ivan. The flower was throwing an orange cast over her by reflecting the light, so I chose to accentuate it a bit in post. An artistic choice on my part.
