hmmmmm. ...after reading mohit's comments about delhi and this being fog I feel the lower contrast is more suited to the pics....but it does, IMO, need a bit of tweaking and I've cropped to where I feel it needed to be cropped to make it compositionally more appealing.
The square rock structure to the right was just drawing my attention so I cropped it out and I think it has put more focus on the subject. Also increased contrast, saturation and sharpness slightly and added some warmth.
Hope ya like it.

First off, awesome pictures. i really LOVE them.
Ok, here's my modest conribution to the editing. I edited Mohit's version. What I was trying to achieve is to preserve the fog in th BG but make the guy "pop out" of it and to give some more life to the colors in the FG. Nothing drastic here, just general saturation, selected colors' saturation, selective contrast and lighting and some color balance changes... but as I said, it didn't change drastically. Hope you like it.

mm, I like what JonK did!

 

[JonK]

hehehe....got enough to choose from yet kunal?
:thumbup: kudos to you too alex

 

[Alexandra]

thx Jon!
I made another one, trying to give it a warmer feel... messed with selective color balance... Maybe that's too much of reds, dunno... I just can't stop, it's an incredible picture I could keep playing with for hours and hours...

Kunal, I love these all... but something about #2 just screamed "black and white!" to me... since everyone else is working on your pics... here is what I see in #2:

I must say I love it….thx
Got a lot to choose from….and it’s a wonderful feeling….

They are wonderful shots Kunal, and your kind disposition has made this thread a pleasure to read. The people who have helped you in here are awesome, and I really like the efforts they have made to help you.. well done everyone, but I must say JonK has made the most appealing rendition of your first shot., giving it good balance overall., imo

PS is a great tool, and can make a incredible difference in photos, but it take a lot of time and practice to learn to use it, and end up with good results.

You will learn to develop an "eye" for post image work, as I am now., and it is great fun! Welcome to TPF, and good luck with your exhibition!

Welcome to the forum. A photo is different for everyone so for me I thought these images needed a much softer look so I desaturated quite a bit and gave them a diffused glow. This is only my opinion and it will be you to make the final decision on how you like the prints.

Cheers,

Eric
