Playing with some PP techniques, let me know what you think?

These are some of my favorite presets. I have never purchased a preset in my life, I have fun making my own and have developed my own workflow. I have a preset for just about everything, low light, backlight, exposure, contrast, and so on! Each preset not only changes skin tone, but also changes the colors and contrast of the rest of the image, making it very fun to edit and process each image just the way I like it for the shot. One thing I never do or have done is touch my subjects face or eyes in any way. I do not go in and smooth skin or change eye colors and so fourth. The beauty of the subject is truly untouched in my images. I really do stick to the natural in natural light photography not just for lighting, but for facial features and so on! Here are a few I just wanted to share as I am working through this session :)

The salt flats consist of multiple, shallow, stepped, clay-bottom pools that originate from partitioned off seawater. The shallow pools, with added sunshine, heat, and wind, allow for evaporation of the water resulting in an increase in its salinity. Once the saline level of the water reaches a certain amount, it gets pumped with the Archimede's screw to a higher and shallower pool. Historically, windmills produced the energy to drive the pump, now the pumps have electric motors. Over time, the water gradually progresses through multiple pools.
The salt is harvested annually, in early fall, before the rainy season starts. In Trapani, they still harvest the salt manually both by skimming the surface and scooping it out with buckets. The very fine salt crystals first skimmed off of the surface of the water in July are most valuable and are called fiore di sale. The salt crystals that are manually scooped from the bottom of the pools, later in the season, are composed of larger, coarser crystals. Those are either sold as coarse salt or can be ground down to a finer composition. Historically, windmills were also used to grind the salt.
After it is harvested, the salt is piled alongside the pools to allow for drying. Due to manual harvesting of the salt, as opposed to excavator harvesting, the crystals stay clean and don't need to be further processed or purified. During drying, the salt mounds are covered with terracotta tiles to keep them clean and protect them from rain. The salt is then packaged for sale according to fine and coarse distributions. Any salt that gets dirty is sold as street salt for winter road management.
This configuration of a series of shallow evaporation pools, still in use today, was introduced by the Arabs between the C6th and C9th AD, whereas the Phoenicians first produced salt along Sicily's coast either by boiling seawater trapped in the island's many marshes or by waiting for water to evaporate from solely ONE pool. The Museo del Sale in Trapani is a family-owned and managed salt flat which has been producing salt for many generations. The salt pans, there, date from the 1400s.
This is a drawing I did a few years ago, based a photo of a weightlifter - was never too happy with the way it turned out originally. I've been experimenting with the way I render color and light a bit recently., so I thought I might dig it out and play around with it. It's a bit more detailed and fussy than my drawings usually are -- not sure if that's a direction I want to go in, or if I should be pushing towards simplicity. But that's what sketching and drawing is great for. Always good to experiment with processes. Who knows, I might even start working with ink and paper again one of these days.

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust...

After working for 2 hours with something that I wanted to look like a faded forest, I gave up, it wasn't my day, my head were spinning with too many other thoughts... So the forest was almost deleted and instead this person decided to appear, don't know how it will end.
