This is just lovely, are they both yours? Im struggling with the greens in all my shots so I don't think you're alone. 

 

Thank you, my two Granddaughters.  Think I've just got in the habit of converting to black and white for most of my people shots.

I'm with you I guess. I tend not to get into a lot of the preset choices - except when I convert to B&W. With B&W I find it useful to use a preset as a starting point and make changes from there to taste. With colour, I may do an "Auto" adjustment of light but I often find that does off from where I want. So I land up adjusting exposure and contrast again as well as shadows and highlights. I usually prefer to keep it reasonably natural with just enough adjustments to make dark shadows more visible and very over-exposed areas less bright. Trying at the same time not to make things look to artificial or flat.

 

There have been occasions when I do want a particular effect and then I may do something more but generally I prefer the above.

 

A very nice picture, by the way.

 

Even if you avoid using presets, I suggest that you add one of your own after processing a portrait or landscape to your satisfaction. It is an economic starting point for the future and can be tweaked if necessary,

Yes, you have a point :-).

Isn't that a bit yellow?

 

 

 

I don’t think so. I much prefer the OP image, less clinical, more humane.

This is lovely Louis, the colours are so rich.

What you could consider is to crop on the right side so that the right edge ends/aligns with the orange strip.

Only a matter of personal taste.

I agree and have, too. of all tritentrue's brilliant photos, this one is especially grabbing.
