With "flat" do you mean "drab in colour"? I've studied your images and see that they carry a lot of punch. That is something I am always scared of doing. I think being used to doing stock images, I prefer to leave sharpening and colour boosting to the buyer as they would know best what they want for print and publishing.

Would be awesome if I could sit down with you and let you show me your steps of post processing

More to do with lighting, harder work for sure but, it's hard to match natural light for a natural subject.....
Uness of course you're aiming for reference accuracy.

Thanks for clarifying that. Yup, they picked up a lot of stumble blocks not shooting in the studio. It's a huge, but fun!, learning curve
