Hi Paul ... I did a Q&D adjustment on Green Girl's arm. I'll take a look at what you did. I toned down the intensity of the green by reducing saturation and lightness, and slightly adjusted the hue. It may not be the best choice of green, but with the differences in monitors that abound, just a rough idea seemed sufficient. I think it puts the pic in better balance.
