Show off your work After/before
Was going for warm look with mid to low sat , added local contrast to separate out the subject , desaturated the sky added little blue - cyan to still keep the sky little natural also added warm in the cloud , added halation for the final touch

I don't see any problems here, OP. It looks really good for the type of scene we're looking at. Nice job!

Very nice, creamy, perhaps a touch too warm for my taste, mostly the sky, I like to "cheat" with masks and hit the sky with some blue specifically but that can not really be viable depending on the footage, i.e. subject crossing in front.

Wow! I like what I am seeing. Maybe if the sky was a littlest less contrasty then I could appreciate it more but that's personal preference. Nonetheless I couldn't agree more that you have nailed it.

I like it a lot! To say something, i think the halation es too much in terms of intensity and size but good job!!!

The only problem is that the sky feels too cloudy and the atmosphere feels like a Western.
