Dear All, I'm struggling with a few of my shots. I'm no photographer, I just take snapshots of my family; I only use raw to have some leverage in case I screw up, which does happens all the time. In good light, my results are passable; however, now I have a few shots where even I can see the 'finished' photo is poor (I think the in-camera JPG preview has better colour than mine). Please don't expect any kind of conscious composition in these shots. I'd much appreciate if you could have a go at them. Please don't spend too much time fiddling with the details - I take lots of snapshots, so if some are worse than others, I won't spend too much time on them (simply because I can't) -- however, of last year's Christmas preparations, these were the 'best' shots.
The photos (raw, xmp, resulting jpg) are here: http://tech.kovacs-telekes.org/files/darktable-edit-request-2015-01-19/ Any specific advice, time spent on them is much appreciated. DSC_3216: Lit from above using warm white LED lights (a WhiBal card reads tint 1.131, temperature 3827; plus there was some scattered light from the kitchen counter, light wood lit using LED spots that when directly illuminating the WhiBal card read tint 1.116, temperature 3345); the lamps over the table direct light downwards, which causes the deep shadows around the eyes. I was trying to lift them. DSC_3297-98: Mixed lightning: bluish-cloudy light through the window, warm white LEDs above (based on WhiBal: tint 1.138, temperature 3446).
