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.

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.
