Mike,
I followed the lesson precisely and did the duck with the RGB mode.
Iit is different because the saturation mode is grayed out.
also I do not use the floiting neutral mode. ( That is for a later moment)

you know , you can attach pictures with a maximum of 200K. so saving your picture in a bigger format would be pleasure me
white could also be a neutral. You could see, that the shorts have a blue cast. So you can and may place the neutral on the shorts.

The neutral was confusing - I went for under the bike as I know the seat has grey on it (just like mine)>then I moved the neutral point around & watched the curves dialogue, when it hit the the centre of the line in the curves grid I set it on the arm (which was a surprise to me).

In this case it is not special necessarily, to use a whitepoint.

Greg,
when I experiment wit the photo with the metalic balls, then there is a small strange thing.
You place a white point on a ball.
then you can move the whitepoint on the ball to see the effect of it.
You see there are a lot of white around it.
But when I not place a whitepoint, and do it on the other way with the shifting of the curve to the left, then I have learned in earlier lessons that you reach the right point when you see the first white spikes.
so it looks to me better the last way.
I can't manage the whitepoint on a way that I get the same result with shifting the curve.

I have tried to catch all in a picture, but it will not succeeded. So you mus trie it yourself.

For the duck your image looks good. You seem to have picked up a bit of a green cast but nothing to worry about at this point. We really are just getting the shadow/highlight /neutral drill going here...
