Thanks Richard..Makeup, Styling and location all had a vintage feel, so that is what I tried to achieve through the processing. I do play around in processing and don't have a set process other than once in photoshop I'll use a midtone luminosity mask in multiply mode to give a little snap to the image.
Boy if these images don't have snap, then I am blind!!!!!

My raw processing produces a fairly flat image. Can add contrast where desired using midtone luminosity masks.
That is why I shoot raw and process in Bridge! This beautiful woman needs very little contrast! What you are doing compliments her extremely well!

Dan thank you.
I process the raw file to give myself a very flat image by choice. I find that I can apply contrast and other adjustments with much more finesse using luminosity masks (light, darks, & midtone selection) in photoshop than I can in Lightroom, ACR or Capture 1. I can take a image farther in C1 than in either ACR or Lightroom, but it still is unable to use finely feathered luminosity masks that I find useful in applying selected adjustments. Lot's of different ways to process in PS, this workflow is just what seems to work for me.
