Thanks, Sharon. I was mostly just trying to visualize the interior set-up you suggested. I wasn't sure why foliage 50 feet away was going to have much effect at all on flesh tones -- which I guess was precisely your point. I trained with one of Richard Lack's students, very much in the Boston School tradition, and I do recall the difficulty I had at first, accepting the possibility of greens in flesh tones, and then successfully seeing them in their subtle cool presence.
