Can anyone give me advice on post processing with this one?
I can't get the vignette right and I don't know how to properly adjust the color. I'm a newb. Shot with a Canon 6d and a 50 mm 1.4 along with a prophoto a1 strobe.

As we were planning our shoot, Iria said she needed a swimwear look. I wanted lifestyle with my car. We compromised. I think it turned out great. Hope you like it.

I have made sure to keep the original, but I've done this photograph the way you can see here. I've also done it in monochrome.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ABOUT PLACES LIKE THIS.
I passed this place on my way to an appointment yesterday, and I just knew I wanted to photograph it on my way home. That's precisely what I did.

What program do you use for editing?
GIMP...
I am not familiar with GIMP. However, I use Lightroom so I would use the eyedropper and click on the girl's white sweater. That would be a good start.
I would also lower highlights a bit and brighten the girl's eyes a bit more.
It's really tough to give advice like that so I am just giving my general opinion.
By the way, personally I think it's a bit on the yellow side (the editing).
Cheers.
THANK YOU!!! I don't understand how to get colors right - I mean, a color reference while editing would be nice although I did use the auto white balance in GIMP.
I did this really fast in Photoshop (its possible in GIMP as well).
Its done via a curve, sample the white and black using the eyedropper.

Try not to use strong vignettes, especially with tight crops.
Hope that helps.
