Thx Ben
Probably a tad too red but I can’t get it right with global wb choices
I am sure Karen can do some hue/sat tweaks

Cutie x2

Might try mono to take some of the edge off? The OOF hair, her left, draws attention to an extent.

Otherwise, to me the light in the color version is a bit harsh, as you note Karen probably as a trick or two to apply.

Loving those grandkids!

Best,

Bob

Excellent shot Scott! You nailed the eyes with nice catch light, they draw you right in.
The only small nit I can find is the chair leg in the BG, but that lens makes it a minor nit.
I'm not a portrait guy but that lens does amazing work and I might have to start looking for one soon.

Bob's edit is also VERY impressive and would be a viable option to consider. Nice work Bob.

reduced highlights, exposure on face, dialed down contrast a tad, BW in SEP, toned in LR

I like the toning results but am struggling to figure out the right tweaks to the brighter face, highlight issue that I think Bob is trying to address in his conversion
Having tried this toning before. From a LR preset, tweaked

Not quite sure where you are headed, but handle and issues and D&B before toning, else color tone will jump out. To me the fundamental issue is the light originates from below, front, catching both her hands and face. Her eyes are superb.

Another matter, or not - might use liguify filter to lessen exaggerated/extended hair, to the left rear (looking at her). Another go using CC rather than LR

All that said, a portrait to savor.

Really nice Scott. I think you nailed the skin tones perfectly, it doesn't look red to me and I just calibrated my monitor. Nice job on the eyes too. +1 on the chair. Maybe cropped too tight?

I love this portrait. It's iconic, the way she holds the cookie tentatively in her hands, the evidence on her face, all in all a well seen picture of childhood. Maybe just me, but I prefer color to black and white, to accentuate the emotional value.
