I really like the colored-haze in this photo:

This isn't a Lightroom effect, it's just the effect of shooting during Golden Hour (an hour or so before sunset in this case, I think), and shooting into the sun: result, warm, soft sunlight. The little bokeh dots floating around appear to be dandelion seeds in the air catching the light.

Can I emulate this in Lightroom? – duysurfing May 24 '12 at 11:37

Not really, there's no substitute for good light. If it was as easy as a bit of tweaking in Lightroom everyone would do it. As it is, you need to be willing to find good locations and wait for the light. – ElendilTheTall May 24 '12 at 11:51

Looking at the photo again, I think it definitely involves some kind of fill light, I guess a flash light. Otherwise, the contrast would be too great and the background would be washed out. Do you think so? – duysurfing May 25 '12 at 9:23
Definitely possible: the background isn't blown which suggests some kind of full was used. It could well be a flash or perhaps a reflector. – ElendilTheTall May 25 '12 at 10:54

I'd say the light source while was behind the subject, the white balance seems to be shifted to the warmer side.
