Examples ~ Sony "Canon Portrait" Picture Profile recipe

Here are two images that I very quickly snapped that illustrate the Canon Portrait Picture Profile recipe that I found on-line.  

The setup was a Sony A6300, Nikon Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4, and Lens Turbo II.  The very shallow depth of field was a challenge when trying to get my eyes somewhere near the proper focus.

It's easy to see that white balance plays an important role in how this recipe renders. I prefer the warmer tones and would need to pay close attention to what the AWB is doing when using this Picture Profile.
