Photographing people is not something I frequently do, but in this case, Rachael, one of the staff at the Sugar Grove Nature Center turn towards where I was trying to photograph the birds arriving at one of the feeders and laughed at something, I turned and without adjusting the camera took this snap shot of her.  Tried to get the skin tone correct, but using both PSE 15 and DPP4 this was the best I could do.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Real nice and natural portrait. Skin tones look pretty good to me. I might clone out the white blotch to the right of Rachel's head, but otherwise, looks good.

A nice moment to have caught, John.  I like the fact that she is looking askance from the photographer - this makes it so much more a natural than a posed shot.  The skin tones look absolutely fine to me.
