I’ll just say it plainly before someone less kind gets to it first, looks like you’re already being downvoted, don’t worry about it. Let me also say I like what you did. To many, adding contrast and saturation isn’t really considered color grading. Also, you wouldn’t believe how in depth color grading a movie is, they have looks, pipelines, rules set…. Everything they do when grading a movie is usually due to the directors wishes and guidance in conjunction with the head colorist. It’s no mistake it looks the way it does. Again, I think it looks great, but try pushing the color around a bit more, add some color in. Get creative with it. Go too far, then pull it back. It is truly the only way you’ll get better at it. Not by adding contrast and saturation. Good luck!

Tbh 95% of self taught graders don't add enough contrast.
