I was looking at some of the pictures that I took on a recent trip to Costa Rica. There were several sunsets that I liked. I processed them differently in lightroom. Which do you like better and which to you dislike?

Beautiful! I like #1 and #2 best. Going to Costa Rica a year from now...any "must see's"? Best 3 lens to take? (I have a D5500)

They're all very nice but the second is more to my liking. The colors are nicer to me.

We were on Caravan Tour which was very nice. There were several "must sees". Manuel Antonio National Park...beautiful beaches, wildlife, sunsets, hiking. Cano Negro Wildlife Preserve boat tour very good. Crocodile Safari... excellet boat tour. All of these places very photogenic. I also liked the Coffee Plantation tour. I expected to not like it as I did not like the Kona Coffee tour in Hawaii. This was very pretty and a lot of photo ops. You will have a great time. I would do it again.

I like the first one best. It pulls me in and invites me to tell the story. I would have liked the last one best if the people were arm-in-arm in a row looking at the sunset. As it is now, it doesn't tell a story. I don't know if you could bring out the faces with Photoshop but I think not (but I'm no expert at Photoshop, just IMHO.)

Very nice set of images. They're all nice. As for my favorites, I especially like #1 and #5.
I like the composition of #1 and the shimmering sunlight off the water behind the foreground palm trees. The other images are similar but the first image grabs my attention.
I like the mood you created in the last image with the people in the scene. They are silhouetted against the brighter scene creating a feeling that your almost there with them. I would have preferred just a couple, rather than a threesome, with them looking at the sunset rather than into the camera. But I still like the image very much.

In my reply, I told you about the places that were my favorites but I did not tell you which lenses I used the most. I did basically use two lenses. My cameras were Panasonic GX8 and a GX85. These are m43 and the multiple for the lenses is 2 to 1. I used a 12-60mm on the GX85 and a 45-200mm on the GX8. I do not like to change lenses when I am on a tour. Most of the pictures were taken with the 12-60mm except when I was in an area where we had wildlife. I also had my favorite 15mm 1.7 for inside and night.
