Tina, it is a beautiful image. If you've calibrated your monitor with that 
colorimeter, then it is accurately showing the image
(assuming no error setting the desired 6500K). On mine it is warm and 
exactly as you describe. Clearly the light was very contrasty.
On your image as shown the highlights and black are clipped, but they are 
neutral or very nearly so. Using a couple of points as a
mid grey, I don't see any reddish cast there either. You can open up the mid 
tones some, as you no doubt know. Assuming this is a
digital image original, the highlights are gone, but it's the nature of the 
shadowed subject in that light, I think. I sure wouldn't
change a pixel!
Cheers
Hoppy

PESO:

Another beautiful Ixil girl with chapped cheeks but this time I've 
spent all day trying to calibrate my monitor with an expensive 
Greytag Macbeth hockey puck.  It's a very frustrating experience with 
no reference except my former settings.  She looks too dark and too 
red, based on my former settings.  Is that my imagination?  Should I 
go back to the original settings - if I can find them?

Sorry, the link would help wouldn't it:  http://www.pbase.com/image/71712076

Thanks,

Tina
