Marty-
I like the pose and I like the scene. I'm thinking a red filter, would have helped greatly here. You're in open shade and pulling a great deal of blue.
I used PS and added a 10% opaque red covering to your shot, there's really quite a difference.

Wow, thanks a lot Daniel. Ok, so I'm holding up the actually print and comparing it to my scanned in image and your modifed version and the print is between the two leaning more torwards your modified version. Is the 10% opaque red cover in photoshop something I should always do with images that are taken in color in a shaded area?

I don't know about always. It is something to keep in mind. If your image looks blue, red will help it, if it's red, blue will help it. You can adjust the color further, using small steps, like 5% opaque to make your image match the print, or how you think it should work. Pretty much, I just create a new layer and play with it untill the image looks right.
If you look at the watch shots I did, I used the same technique. Took a color shot of the watch (gold), converted to B&W, then applied a 25% brown/tan layer. Play with it, I've seen some amazing differences.

I found by adding an 81a filter to my shaded shots, the red was boosted enough that I did not need color compensation once I brought the image into photoshop. I almost leave the filter on all the time, which may not be a good idea, but it works great for landscapes in bright sun, and as well, shade like in the instance of your photo.
Just a thought, but otherwise, the red top really accentuates focus to the subject and that works for me too. Good work.

Marty... I find having the model stand in the planned lighting with a MacBeth chart, or a Kodak color chart as your first exposure a great tool for color/contrast adjusting... for you and the processors.
