Re: Cheyenne
Mike,
Same criticism as in the previous set of photos.
No interaction between you and your subject.
She looks away in both shots and never makes eye contact. Additionally she looks bored and uninterested in posing.
I suggest you ask her to relax and smile.

Re: Cheyenne
+1 to Robert's comments.
Add to that a couple of technical thoughts. The image is underexposed (look at the histogram) and flat (i.e. needs contrast)
Taking the white point to 195 gives me:

Re: Cheyenne
240 is usually close enough.

Re: Cheyenne
When shooting in high grass, make sure you knock down anything that protrudes around the head. It's far easier to do this while shooting than in PP (but also far easier to notice after you see the image on a large screen).
The colours look a bit different. It looks more like colour grading than a colour cast.

Re: Cheyenne
Thanks.. yeah I seen that blade of grass after the fact. That Photoshop work book is excellent. It's help me a lot. I have been playing with layers, brushes and color, it's been FUN instead of frustrating for once. It's kinda has me thinking about how and where to shoot cause I know I can try to do this or that, it's just been fun.

Re: Cheyenne
Just remember that one minute of extra effort while shooting saves 10 - 20 minutes of Photoshop work (I give the range as your speed with Photoshop does depend on your skill level).
I prefer to get things right in the camera to save myself as much work as possible later.

Re: Cheyenne
Manfred hits the nail on the head in his above comment.
However, editing is a valuable facet of digital photography.
A very inexpensive Photoshop Book ($10 USD) is the Kindle edition of Photoshop CC Essentials for Photographers: Chelsea & Tony Northrup’s Video Book The Kindle edition costs ten dollars and includes links to many videos that follow along with the book's chapters. The book + videos are entertaining and educational. I will use it on my Chromebook which I have open next to my desktop with Photoshop loaded on it...
