Please observe these guidelines:

  1. Post links to other people's images.  Don't upload photos that aren't your own - that's bad manners.  Provide the link to an image with the desired effect, so that we can visit it.  Don't link the file itself; link the page on which you found the photo, so that the photographer gets the credit and the traffic.

The muted colors thing is not my style at all.  I gave it a shot but not happy with the result.  This is my normal edit, then desaturate the reds and greens, gradient map Brown (8c6510) to white normal 5%, and a black and white gradient map soft light 68% and finally a subject only levels midtone boost 1.08.  Clearly, that style is just not my thing,

This style is just not my thing but it would give me a very different look in a gallery.  I sent it over to the mom and she liked it much better than mine but I did up the lightness to zero.  I just felt it was a bit dark.  For future people looking at the post, (when the big file link expires)  Damien added a hue/saturation layer 0% saturation -40 lightness with soft light and a solid fill color#99664d set to hue at 60%.

I never would have considered the hue/saturation at 0% in soft light.  I have to get the gallery out so I will take your edit and mix them in so there is some variety.  Thanks
