Cinematic Color Grading With Lightroom

Hi Britany - thanks for posting your project! Very nice use of of the color grading techniques learned in class. At first glance two things stand out to me (portraits can be touchy and without layer masks in Lightroom there is not a lot of control). First, the highlight tint in her shirt and flower in her hair is applied a bit heavy for my tastes - I think you were going for a pinkish spring look but with the white shirt and white flower it makes the white balance look a little too off.  Also because her eyes were in shadow the color adjustments you applied made the whites of her eyes blue - which subcontiously we can't reconcile with how they're supposed to look. You could try using an adjustment brush to balance the colors of these two areas - I think the background looks great but we're more conditioned for portraits to look a certain way. But, like I said in the class - there is no right and wrong - so if it looks exactly how you wanted it to look - then don't worry about it! Cheers, JP
