Looks like there may be too much material in the back... what did the tailor do to the jacket?

Three areas of creasing:
1) The light rolls across the middle of the back - probably just a little big. Have your tailor take in the center seam about a half inch, and good as gold.
2) The creasing on the back of the sleeves - if you're standing normally in these photos, it's likely that the sleeve pitch doesn't match the angle at which your arms hang naturally. A good tailor can rotate the sleeves back to better suit your posture.
3) The vertical crease/pleat from your shoulder blade downward, near the armhole is the trickiest one, because it could be one of several things.
a) a little loose across the back/chest; the center seam from item 1 may help a bit with this.
b) the jacket shoulders may be a hair wide, or your shoulders may slope farther down than the jackets, which is allowing the shoulders to collapse or deflate a little. Test by sliding a little padding between the top of your shoulder point and the jacket; if the creases improve, consider adding shoulder padding (and trying on a half size down in your next jacket from the same maker)
c) Most jackets need/can use a small fold of extra material in this position on the blades (less than you've got, but some); it allows you more mobility as you raise your arms.

The alteration were,
1. Reduce the shoulder seam
2. Shorten sleeve length from the shoulder
3. Let out the side abit as it was too tight at the back which limit the arm movement.

I'm no tailor, but my best guess would be this alteration threw the jacket out of whack. I would find a better tailor and see what they say.
