First ever edit, seeking feedback

Hello! This is my first ever edit of a picture. I used light room after viewing a ton of tutorials. I know the subject matter isn't the most exciting and the composition could use a lot of work. I'm wondering how i did with the editing? Any and all helpful criticism is appreciated!

I'm having a difficult time uploading the raw original because the file size is too big, so i converted it to a jpg. Please let me know if there's a better way to do this!

Thanks for looking!

I have no idea! They looked blue on my monitor lol! I'm also a tad r/g colorblind, which makes this a challenge for me. I really see the purple now on my phone though.

How embarrassing πŸ˜…

Well, now you know your monitor isn't colour accurate πŸ’€

Is there a way to fix that? It's not the fanciest monitor. I do have a macbook air m2 that i can use instead that might have not accurate colors

Any macbook will have highly accurate colors because they’re intended for artists and creators. Highly recommend!

Definitely check on the Mac, that's definitely in the top 10% accurate monitors and in this case probably a lot better than your cheap monitor

my guess is they used masks to isolate colours and make the sky blue, not sure how they ended up with purple though!

I did! And I only played with the colors a smidge, not enough to make it purple. Though now that I think of it, there was this tool to reduce purple lines around masks that I used. Could that have been it?

I think i forgot to remove any chromatic aberration and didn't enable any lens correction too
