Post processing advice on am dram shoot

[mikeyw]

Guys,

I really struggle with PP and sometimes miss the blatantly obvious like a colour cast

I recently did a shoot for some operatic players who are doing hello dolly at a local theatre - the location was very period and quite dark which worked imho.

These images have had some basic processing applied and i'm fairly happy with them but just wondered if the experts would do more to make them shine ?

Tia,
Mike

They look quite good to me, but I'd be tempted to give the first pic a bit of shadow highlight to bring up the detail in the dark area of the fire.place

I agree with Wayne - the black glove gets lost in the fireplace and the bracelet looks a tad weird...
