Tejal...
I hope that you do not object to me working with your images, If you do, I will no longer post any changes that I make.
I have the NIK Software Package and really like using this to help post proces my images.
One of my favorite things about NIK is the Control Point System.
I used NIK Vivesa on your image #2. I worked on it because I like it so much but, thought with a bit of PP it might be improved. I selected the men and the idols using the control point system and then increased the shadow adjustments. Then I used the control points to select the sky and lowered the brightness.
This was the final result. I think that it looks like fill flash has been used...
What do you think?
