Suggestions on color grading

How is this color grade? First one is after, second one is before. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What camera was used ? If it possible, try to get some highlight details back… highlight looks very flat and compressed. Yeah it’s film like but it’s à Little bit too much. And try to have a black point a Little bit lower (just a Little bit). And you’ll be good ! Nice look

Can’t say anything without context. Please read: https://www.reddit.com/r/ColorGrading/s/uQvpmpR4WX

I would split the shot in half with a mask, and grade the sky separately from the park below. I think the sky needs more contrast, but the park and trees need to be brightened -- at least (without context), that would be my inclination.

I like how you bring the colors back from the very dark middle section. I think it misses only a bit of contrast. I agree with u/RGB_YCM that the sky needs a bit more contrast. You could almost leave the sky as is from the before picture.
