Ickle Shoot. (not wedding)

I think that is too warm Andy, i do want that hazy look within it too. The warm tone there isn't what I was after. or too much of it rather. It may be for your taste, which is fine :)
 
Looking again my processing is a tad too warm. The overall effect though was due to dropping the clarity in LR3 - gives it that wispy etheral look.

I don't want to cause any offence, and maybe it's just me but... this image is so washed out that I don't feel any connection/warmth from the subject at all, to me it looks drab and miserable.
Now I know your wedding PP doesn't suite this type of image, but that PP style really makes the images look fresh and fun and the food look delicious.

Also not sure of the crop, I personally don't mind negative space, but the blank sky looks a little boring so I would crop in a little tighter like below (also boosted contrast a little).

Not long ago you posted a thread of a recent wedding that you applied a different style of PP. I think that could work well for these images, but with just a little haze added.

^^^ I tried that preset, this is nicer :p

and i am after the hazy dreamy look. I am not after the warm glow look. Not after a happy photo either. The girl has a sad look in her, it's like her soul, being happy don't suit her in a photo.

Hence the result.

To me, this shows you really don't need fancy kit considering this guy is producing these images from a 500D.
Apart from the processing this guy is able to invoke powerful expressions and sensual poses from his subjects, and all from his wheelchair.

Purely IMO: I think the PP does suit the subject. From my perspective, it seems to give the subjects an almost 'angelic' quality - the softness and creamy 'finish' seem to imply innocence. In some pictures, the subject is showing a reflective and sombre look - the PP complements this and I believe this feeling would be lost with a more saturated and vibrant PP.
