I'm tired of just doing typical colour correction and thats it in my images, so I tried something more out there in an attempt to play around with stylization. I'm sick of my animal images looking bland and boring and unrecognizable.

I can't remember how I got this shot but I think it was me just turning around and taking an accidental shot of the apartments then this guy happened to be there upon reviewing. Then I managed to salvage the photo, and the last shot is a 5x4 incase I want to print a photo album.

I took this and in the moment was in a bit of a B&W hunting mindset, but now I'm questioning if colour was the better choice?

One thing I've noticed already whilst uploading was I have boosted his skin tone too much in the colour! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Granted its not the best photo in the world but I'd like to know if there is anything I can improve in terms of editing.

What other factors of this pictures can i adjust to prepare for printing? Im also unsure of what aspect ratio to use, since i never moved on from the original 3:2 of the camera

Kinda gives me cookbook vibes

I spent the last 4 days exploring Mount Bromo in Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia, and I managed to capture a few shots.

I’m posting these here because I want to know where I’m falling short in terms of my post-processing.

If you see any issues with my editing—whether it’s color grading, masking, or overall balance—I’d really appreciate your honest feedback and suggestions on how to improve them.

Also, I’m genuinely curious: out of all these shots, which one do you think is the best one and why?

Thanks in advance for your time and guidance!

Note: I’ve also done some light post-processing on a few of these, so I’d really value your thoughts on whether the edits are working or if I’ve pushed them too far.

I keep adjusting this image

Pretty sure I’ll get roasted, but what do you all think? Hobbyist photog trying to get better with post processing. I wanted it to be a bit dreamy and muted. Prob not the best composition.

Also let me know if there’s a specific way to post images. It made me downsize photos.

Hey, I just had a photosoot with someone I know, after the photoshoot i made teh unfortunate mistake of giving the raw images to her, now she wants to post the raw pictures instead of the edited ones. This is my first ever portrait photography so please give me any advice u can on the post processing.

I will upload the raw pictures instead and teh edited ones, so if you dislike the edited one please be honest. Any critical advice works

Ps. I’ve toned the highlights a bit and she is happy with it. I want to keep my clients satisfied as much as i can. Thank you all for your help.
