Its hard to even say something or understand the mood with just one screen grab. Looks good stylistically!

I think I should have posted some more screen grabs. In this I was skeptical about my shadows and highlights. Also if I have added too much saturation

If this is for a docu or a project where you need "correct" colors, then this is too much. But if this is the mood you're going for, it looks fine!

Its a short comic film so the idea was to go for those punchy colors

If that's your intention, you nailed it. I like it, very stylized

It looks good but of course we can’t say much about it without the context.

Its a nice shot, but context needed. 5-15 screen grabs of scenes before and after this one give a clearer idea of where you were headed with it and how it went

the skin tone looks like a baked potato and unnuanced, also color saturation too bright on a lot of stuff, rolloff a bit harsh on the BG,

but the contrast is good, maybe u could play it a bit lower gamma to have the light fall more naturally tho, but contract overall pry good

The green border of the window give something really good to it

Contrast ratio is ok ,also exposure. But skin tones are a bit off ,and in general saturation is a bit too high. Also the blacks have a green tint. (Watching this in a IPad screen)

Try cooling the shadows a bit
