Had a shot at a portrait using Color Efex Pro 4. I don't normally take portraits, so this is a crop from a birthday group, of my step-daughter, Sharon. I think the processing turned out quite well.
Fuji S9500, 1/210 sec, f3.7, ISO 100.
What I did spot with this image, being as it was taken on a birthday, was that the EXIF date was wrong. Turns out I had made a schoolboy error of setting the camera time (12 hour clock) to PM instead of AM. Therefore pictures, taken between noon and midnight, showed the wrong day. It has been like that for years!
That prompted me to check all my cameras and I found both Nikons had Daylight Saving set ON, so they have been an hour out too. What a clown.

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
