Great images!
I hope you grabbed some 5 B's Barbecue in Gunnison when you were in Crested Butte!
Thank you! I definitely passed through Gunnison a few times but was spending so much time shooting that I barely tried anything. The location is just unreal.

Is it me or out of focus stuff rendering feels vintage?
The last three images were developed from raw in DxO Photolab 6 (bundled with DxO FilmPack 6). The default camera profile and lens corrections were applied. Auto exposure compensation (set to center weighted average) was used together with the auto DRO (called Smart Lightening in DxO). DeepPRIME XD was used for denoising. "Fine contrast" was gently increased to 10 to avoid adding contrast to the out-of-focus areas. Thus, most of the work on these pictures was standard.
A few corrections were non-standard. The first and the third images posted above were taken in poor light. This tends to give a strong orange cast. The red and yellow channels (in the Channel Mixer) were set to 10 in the 1st image. This desaturated the red-orange-yellow. In the 3rd image, the white balance was set on the light grey areas of the body, the yellow channel was set to 5. Then I added pink by setting the corresponding filter from the FilmPack to 10. In Color Accentuation, the vibrancy was at 40 and saturation at -20.
I had no objective to produce a vintage look. If this happened, it might be due to the modified (desaturated?) colors. The images I like, I usually correct "to taste" and make 3 - 4 different versions before selecting the final ones. The postprocessing takes time, but I enjoy it this way, and keep learning from the experience.
