Mike, nice to hear from you, and you're right about that area. I think it's a value problem rather than a color problem. Photos pull values apart, and this applies not only to reference photos but also to photos of finished paintings. (In other words, if something jumps out as too light or too dark in the photo of the painting, you have to go back in there and adjust or blend those value changes, even if the painting seems fine in "real life".)
