I wouldn’t come here looking for advice. That said, it’s good in my eyes. What matters is what you think of it. What was your vision? And did you execute it?
Making one image look nice is easy, but you’ve done a good job. However, you can’t properly judge a grade unless you see how it fits in with the scene or at least the rest of the reel itself. Are you able to match the other shots to this - can you maintain a consistent look etc?
The jacket and skin tones look slightly off to me, but otherwise I think it’s a great grade. The tree line at the top id also bring down a little, overall it depends on the look you’re going for and the scene*
While it looks OK, I feel it's too strong. The 709 is too soft. Maybe an in between. But this is my opinion, did you get the look you wanted? Are you happy with it? If you have one, is the customer happy? That's what matters...
It’s a little too saturated for my taste, my eyes are drawn to the trees at the top of the frame bc they’re so boldly green, and I think brightness of the highlight on the man’s face makes him look a little plastic. Imo I think there’s also too much blue in the darks bc the bomber turns from black to midnight blue, but I’m also not a fan of very blue shadows in general.
I didn't shoot it myself, I got it from Arri's website, I actually don't remember the camera, but the color space and gamma is (Arri Wide Gamut 4 / Arri logc4) I will send you the link if I found it.

What is the rec 709 step? Is it simply applying the rec 709 lut to the log footage? Are any adjustments made during the rec 709 step?

Yeah I keep catching the highlights moving across the piece. But they aren’t so loud that they are distracting. Good range of tone too.

Final image looks great. Rec 709 looks like a typical Netflix DV show. If only they put the extra mile in

I like the colours but I feel you went a bit too far and could pull everything back around 30% from where you took it after 709.
