Dave, and everyone else who reads this type of discussions, I think that at this point I need to explain something about my comments in general. I certainly do not have any illusions as to having enough authority of being a judge of what is "right" or "wrong" with posted images. Nor should my comments be perceived as lecturing, my occasional writing style notwithstanding. I've written a lot of posts on LuLa, some hurriedly, and not always paying attention to wording as to avoid the impression of lecturing. All I can do, or trying to do, is to offer my opinion along the lines: if this is what you are trying to achieve, then try this, or that, etc.
As evident in the OP example, I might indicate in which direction to go if the goal is "realistic" or believability, however, it does not guarantee that if something is believable, it is attractive at the same time. Sometimes a "wrong" approach is right ultimately. Only you, the author, should decide which way the image goes. And just to repeat, even if the OP image is "wrong" white balance-wise, it still has a certain unique quality that might ultimately make it more successful than the "right" one.
