Sunny portrait

A portrait try in the autumn forest with old FD 50 1.4 lens.

Nice composition but it doesn't look very sunny, more like winter with the cold gray/blue. I'd photoshop in some yellow.

Thank you for your opinion James, I'll try it :)

Here is my preference for your image.  I set the white point and black point on the white and black stripes on her right shoulder for 240 (white) and 20(black).  This removed much of the coolness.  I used hue/sat to add a touch more warmth.  I hope this helps.  You do have a very pleasant subject and peaceful surroundings.

Thank you John,

Obviously I need some warming here.

So - I've tried the simple way - 33% warming filter applied and results are pretty good.

 

Thank you both for the opinions and help :)

 

:Nice. I think it even makes the flesh tones look better.

The warming filter does a nice job on the skin tones but, because it is a filter which affects all the image, it imparts a color cast to the rest of the image.  It is easy to see how it affects the whites especially.  If you have neutral color overall and want to use a filter to warm up the skin, take a snapshot of the neutral version, apply the filter, take another snapshot and use the history brush to return everything, except the skin, to the neutral version.  Photoshop is a wonderful tool and a great adventure to partake of----good luck in your pursuit.

Yes, you are right again,

I like reddish tones more than the yellow and that's why I like it with the warming filter more :)

 

It is refreshing to have you explain why you prefer the warming filter.  Some photographers tense up if viewers don't understand or agree with their vision or technique.  There are at least a hundred different comments that could be made on almost any image and each poster would be "right" as long as they could explain their point of view.  You have simply and accurately stated your preference and I respect your choice.
