The first photograph is very warm which actually tones down the colours of the flowers and makes the purple flower look a bit yellow. In the second photo i have used the colour correction tool in Camera Raw to give the photo more of a cooler look and made the flowers stand out and look their true colours. I really like the cooler tone of the concrete now and even though I didn't change the clarity or anything in the second photograph there is far more detail in the concrete and flowers. Another way I could have changed the colour in this photograph is used the Temperature slide in the basic panel and made the temperature cooler.

Heres another photograph that has to much of a warm temperature which ruins the nice blues and greens in the water, sky and tree this time instead of using the colour correction tool i used the Temperature slide in the basic panel. I made the temperature cooler so we could pull out the rich greens and blues. Now the photograph looks far more natural.
BEFORE
So as you can see in the first photograph you could see the lighting stand in the background so I used the spot removal tool to remove it, I could see improvement straight away. I then cropped the photograph so she was centered making her belly the main focus. As you can see in the first photograph the colours were a bit faded so I used the colour correction tool to darken those colours adding a bit of contrast. In the third photograph I used the greyscale panel to make it black and white and then i played with the colours to make certain things pop. I mainly played with the Warm colours so I could make her skin stand out more and make the shadows darker.

Here is my close crop portrait. As you can see in the first photograph it is slightly over exposed so I tried using the colour correction tool to tone it down, but when I did that it made the colours more natural but some areas in the photograph were still over exposed so i used the exposure slider in the basic panel to tone it down, I also used the contrast slider to make the colours richer. In the third photograph I used the Greyscale panel to turn it black and white and then targeted certain colours, yet again I played with the pinks and reds to adjust the colour of her skin and also the colours in her top. Because i had played with contrast and exposure in the second photo I didn't have to do anything to the third photo. I edited this photo Monday and now that its Wednesday and I've come back to it I find the skin colour a bit too grey.

In this photograph I have used the adjustment brush to make the Back ground B&W and then I increased the clarity and colour of Roxy. I do like this but prefer the coloured background, this type of editing would be really affective with flowers if your wanting to really boost the colour of the flower.
