I am not sure what I think. I love the color change of the blanket and the plant next to her looks good, at first glance the shadows seem too blue and really dark. I would love to see how you did it.

I will try, i need to play more. I just often miss the mark when introducing or changing colors....honestly i have somewhat given up in that area.

I know she is doing something with colors...I actually stylized a recent session with a knit outfit she uses, and even though they are the same color, the images are very different (it is actually a bit cheeky her images are used to promote the clothing, because the colors are way off). https://www.noellemirabella.com/your-everything?lightbox=dataItem-jiqq8me37 Both the sweater and socks/bonnet in my images are the same as hers but they look completely different. (the sweater in reality is duller and more grey blue and the socks are far more yellow).

Here is my final edit. I

If you prefer i do have some samples of a toddler in local urban flower farm that i could use?

No, you are correct. I just want to give you a sample that i thought might work where i knew we had already discussed WB and Raw edit.

I would love to hear how you think she gets these greens and rich colors. I believe she used a petzval 85 for this image, and I do not have that lens so I have post an image with from my 135 https://www.noellemirabella.com/your-everything?lightbox=dataItem-jklpfj1t7

thanks...I had a issue with my 135 2.0L last year where the optical ring needed adjustment ... but forever I thought it was me doing something wrong. Now I am a little neurotic over my focusing. And the image here was right after I got it back and was testing it out.

Last Thursday I got glasses (hello 40). I see much better, but I swear everything is slightly, yet noticeably, warmer. Friday I went back to ask about what could be making me see more yellow, I was treated like I was crazy, but I really just think they did not want to deal with me or have to replace anything. I have a feeling it has to do with the anti glare coating they recommended I have put on the lenses. Has anyone here ever heard of this?

Thanks. Here it is

Yes, sorry! This image is a bit soft, but I think it will do for this?

I love how this guy does his greens, and I was wondering if you have any tips on how to do this. His site does not allow you to link to specific pics...but the first image in his portfolio is a great example. I have seen some of his SOOC images in a another closed group...I know copying and posting them here would be a no, no. So I will just mention a few things in case the info is helpful: he is all natural light, the first image is with the canon 135 2.0, seems to always underexpose his images... http://www.stevethomas-jonesphotography.com/portfolio/

Focus check, please. Here is am image of three people, that are on the same focal plane, yet seem to be focused differently. Would you agree that none are in great focus and the kids worse that them mom? The whole reason I sent my lens off to canon in the first place was it seemed to perform better with single subjects than a group. I do not focus recompose and I was laying on the ground for this shot, so I doubt camera shake is the issue. I am just trying to see if my focus judgement is off and my expectations are unrealistic or if I have an issue that I need to find a solution for.

focus check please I think this one is pretty good...but would you consider it perfectly focused? Should I be happy with this result from me and my lens? thank you.

This one I think is good...front eye looks focused, but back eye soft, but it was shot at 2.2...so seems right to me, but I would love your opinion/focus check.

focus check please.

I do not really think the first image is in focus - I just got a lens back from canon saying they adjusted the optical ring...trying to figure out if this lens is performing or not. Of course I would still like to hear what you think. I am going to post a few other similar images to see what you think. thanks.

Focus check please
