    Nothing flashy just a good solid image. Shows the environment well and whites look good.
    This needs a bit of CW rotation John.

    Hi Jon, agree that this requires rotation and also will then elongate the white strip close to the trim edge, but the overall cast in it is masking the reeds etc. Again, it's falling short in Exposure, you can afford to open it up, or delete that 'application' within the WF, it's not helping Jon, check out Mr Bumble, they are awesome now!!!!

    I confess to sensing a green cast but I failed to remove it, I am still persevering with the modified workflow - too easy to give up!

    Jon, I think it’s more a ‘red’ cast, not green or magenta, however…

    Regarding the WF, I have to say that viewing numerous images where it’s been applied, it’s not really working Jon, the main part is the Exposure element and so if it’s more of a detrimental issue therefore I think it’s not an element that should be maintained, but your call Jon.

    Jon, I quite like the feel of this frame. The lighting is pleasing and produces a soft feel in the white on green.

    Nice environmental. Traditionally, a bit shallower dof is nice but in a setting like this it's more acceptable.

    Do agree on some rotation and also feel like you could open it up a little with 3-4 points warmth. Check it out and see.

    Otherwise, would love a bit more HA toward the lens.
