Two comments:
1) The colors look... odd. Was that your intention?
2) The pose in #2 is... awkward.

These look like they were converted from old Ektachrome (sp) slides. Just a little bluish in color. Am I anywhere close to the process?

The colors are distracting - otherwise the shots are interesting. Like these better than your first set.

They look too magenta to me.

Yes, from slide film.

Unless you're good as restoring the colours (I'm not!) would humbly suggest that these would be a good subject for conversion to black and white, but avoid sepia as she looks too young to be in a 1920's print?
Some scanning programs are better then others at restoring colour to 'old' slides, Vuescan IIRC has some additional settings for this sort of work.
See beyond the fading and you have two nice pictures, although I must admit in the last one she looks as though she's just spotted the snake mentioned in the previous thread...

Can I post some Black and White conversions please? Nothing too extreme.

I think that the w/b could easily be corrected in post. The second image was probably not a posed shot but a spur of the moment shot.
Actually, I tried to correct that purple cast and found that it was more difficult than I thought.

Couple of things... how did you light the slides, i see a definite darkening of the corners- somehow you may be able to get more out of the d slide itself with some sort of more even lighting.
2nd. Do you have lightroom? while there is a definite color shift going on, i played around with some of the color balance profile presets in the white balance palette and some of the results were quite pleasing albeit not what i would call accurate... but that is OK. Her skin tones look good but the siding too blue. Also available in there are some B&W conversions which is way better results than kicking saturation down to zero.
ANYWAYS
Have a go at it!

Nope, don't have lightroom. This was taken outside by an abandoned farm fairly early in the morning and I just took the lighting God gave me. I petty new to this post processing game but I did get the wood on the shed a little more realistic; however, the skin tone are a little faded.

Maybe she just saw a bug in the bush.

I really like these visually and I don't think the wonky color detracts from them at all, it dates them and that's not a bad thing.
As an exercise, I played around with your images and they are difficult to color correct. They are also independently shifted, so I'm assuming you didn't apply the same edits to both exposures where color was concerned. If you'd like someone to work on these and see what can be done, it would be better to give them a completely unedited image.
When you start pulling down individual wavelengths of color the overall trend is toward monochrome anyway. Unfortunately, there are also very few pixels in your images devoted to the model. There is a lot of grain that I wouldn't expect from slide film so it's due to the general image size or the scanner DPI. Are you using a flatbed scanner with a slide holder, or a dedicated slide scanner?
At any rate, if your slides are in good shape you should really find someone with a great scanner to do them for you.
