Also, it probably doesn't help that the WB is a bit off. There's a definite red tint to the photo, which is probably introduced by the red wall on her left (camera right). Even so, it's fairly easily corrected. Mind if I upload over the top of it to correct it? (nothing I can do about the shirt though)

I agree with you, although I think the image has been a bit overprocessed. I don't think the reds were blown this bad at the time of the photo (unless the photographer accidentally overexposed and had to darken it in post), I think the blown reds were introduced by editing. Just my suspicion though.
241:. It's a good portrait, and I don't think there's much wrong with it. Just the slightly off-putting tones on her shirt makes it hard to give full support. We are notoriously harsh on portraits though. We often reject what would be happily accepted by commercial clients! 192:
OK, it's done. I adjusted the WB of the background, largely excluding her to preserve the colour of the reds on her shirt and skin tones. Also brightened the background by about 0.25EV. Just my personal preference there.

The red suits her and I like the office setting more than the clichéd equation-filled whiteboard, glass and steel corridor or mood-lit laboratory.
357: 17: 221: 107: 106:. I'm not sure how much it really matters, but there is something a bit odd with the colours on her shirt (e.g. look under her left arm). 121: 338: 325: 308: 291: 274: 257: 229: 225: 209: 183: 155: 133: 115: 111: 98: 179: 129: 94: 321: 251: 203: 175: 149: 125: 90: 317: 304: 270: 287: 346: 335: 171: 242: 194: 140: 300: 266: 60: 120:
Reds are notoriously easy to blow, especially with a bright color like this.
