A very fine image and I think an image which would make a lot of people want to hire you and have a picture of their kid taken. May I ask how you color graded it with blues and oranges. . I mean did you use brushes or did you mix layers?

Thank you heiko! I got it as perfect as I could in camera raw, then adjusted camera calibration a tiny bit to add pop, used “crisp winter” lut, and used sepia-turquoise gradient map. Also used a b/w adjustment layer in soft light blending mode with reds pulled down to 80ish/ yellows up to 230ish and pulled the opacity down to about 23%. There were other adjustments that I can’t recall at the moment. Used camera raw and photoshop.
