Thanks! I was indeed aiming at emulating Portra colours.
I'm using a custom Lightroom preset that I tweaked several times during the years to kinda resemble Portra and give that nice film-ish look.
I'm not excited about digital greens so what I do is to slightly desaturate them and turn the hue to a yellowish tint. There is also some other stuff going on. I could send it to you if you like, but as always, it doesn't work out-of-the-box, but ofter requires some adjustments here and there.

I’ve put this image up on the thread elsewhere, no doubt years ago. It is a vignetted crop of the original—which I have since developed more neutrally and uncropped. I repost it here because it has had about 3300 views in the RFF gallery, i.e., at least 3000 more views than any other image I’ve posted with any other camera.
And this mystified me for a long while, until I realized that people want—maybe more than anything else, maybe without conscious comprehension—to be gazed at, steadily, unblinkingly, especially by other species. To have that interspecies visual communing. I wrote an extended visual/text essay on this in 2016, The Gaze and the Soul. (I’m currently exhibiting a version of it in several regional venues over a 4 month period, that’s why it is on my mind.) The point today, though, is this was made possible by the GR. I can’t imagine having done it with any other camera. It is a consolation in a sense to know that I could let go of all the other image machines and get the most out of this one alone; get images, that is, that go beyond conscious intent, ego-gratification, all that.

Nice, Tim... each so different but compelling in its own way!
