Thanks Binga! I do have a few shots where the boat and the fishermen are more in the view, but the waves aren't nearly as dramatic as in this one.

LOVE #2

your composition improved

Thanks Marija!

I love #1 & #2 and do think the #3, #4, & #5 are much much weaker, imo
I think they are both a bit too contrasty, too cold and sharpened too much.

Thanks Lew for taking the time to go through these. I noticed that you brought down the highlights from the leathers, and repainted the part of the street which was too bright, and it makes sense to me. I don't understand why you went for a reddish skin tone, maybe it's my screen, but the skin looks too reddish.

Really like what you've done with #2.

 

[The_Traveler]

Now that I look at it, it is waay too reddish.
Thanks for pointing that out.

I tend to make pictures of people warmish in an attempt to be inviting and 'human.'
In this case, as you so correctly pointed out, I went tooooo far.

You are so lucky to live in a country with that wealth of color and clothing.
I associate any tropical country with warm red tones because of the ubiquitous laterite dust.

Like them all, but number one is definitely a stand out. Love that shot!

Thanks Lew, and I agree, I'm pretty lucky in that way.

Thanks Todd, my fav too!

Thanks Akash, really appreciate it!
Yes of course images can be improved, but it's impossible to make a blanket statement on this topic as it depends on the degree of the "badness" of the files. But of course, almost every photographer has images where they screwed up the exposure or something else, but had to make the best of it as the image was too good to pass.

Well, you may try posting the links to the raw files, or post the jpegs and see if anyone would try their hands on it, but I'm pretty certain that even if they do so, most would work on one or two of the pics as an example to show to you. This is a photography forum, and learning is encouraged but nobody will do your work for you.
As an alternative, you can always contact some professional retouchers to take care of it, or learn the basics of editing yourself and give it a try. Let this be a lesson, never hire amateurs to cover a wedding.

If the photos are that bad it sounds like you may need a powerful wizard rather than a photographer or retoucher.
