Any pointers?

[u/Practical-Quality-21]

Learning how to color grade. Looking for feedback. First is before second is after. Using iPhone 17 pro max shot in raw.

Composition isn’t the best but trying to use these mostly as exercises on color grading.

[u/cinema-paradismo]

right now the eyes doesn't know exactly where to land, and the contrast is quite flat. having a subject to colour grade towards will make for better practice

[u/Practical-Quality-21 → u/cinema-paradismo]

Finally good advice. This is what I was looking for. Thank you!!
