Thanks Tina - I'm at Metz and using the old mac and LR3. My other "lab" with LR5 is 100 miles away at Mutz - I'm sure that starting from the RAW in LR5 you will achieve a much better result :-)

OTT In earnest, this is typically the kind of portrait I want to play with because the wonderful subject was taken by a most excellent photographer using equipment with outstanding potential :-) I'm sure the final colour version will outperform the BW one and that there's soul in there, and even more so in colour ;-)

I'm now fiddling with the circles I also like, be prepared for the worst ;-)

Philippe, crossing his fingers for Ted never to know I prefer colour ;-)

I did not realize what a difference there was until I saw your screen
shots.  I like it!

Roughly:
I started from the idea that the background was a distractor and dimmed it
- luminance and saturation of the greens
I then adjusted the orange for the tone skins
Played a little with the reds for the cloth to match the other tones.

Gave a little more structure to the skin by means of the tone sliders

I then sharpened the eyes a bit and gave them a click of clarity

Vignetting to taste

With this in mind all the time

PESO:

I corrected the color in the original based on the complaints! Much
less
yellow and magenta.

The detail is better but I might still prefer the B&W.

Thanks,

Tina

I reduced the saturation in this one but the color is still
distracting:

I was surprised at the apparent difference in detail of face and hands
when I converted to B&W:
