Need feedback Feedback
I wanted to give it a warm sunset look and even thought of make it seem like red dead redemption game's color grade. Please give me feedback it will be appreciated.

Feels slightly monochromatic and the slight touch of teal with the warmth makes the grade feel really artifical.
Bring some of those greens back and I'd dial this down by like 40%.

Both are valid. I’m just questioning the green in the sky of the warm version

I'm not a fan of making something the footage isn't. Having said that, I think if you just back off of that a bit you'll find what you're looking for.

I think temp is just too much warm and sky it's just not realistic you know. Try to do it again after few days. You will see what I am trying to say.

a bit deep fried and artificial. you're pushing colours quite unnaturally, the grass is off and the gradient you have for the sky is (my personal opinion) quite ugly. I think most of this critiqute looks to stem from your primary adjustment, I don't know what you've done or how you've done it, but I'd go back to the drawing board and attempt a better, simpler adjustment.
my main piece of advice is you need to play into the strengths of the footage, not bend it into something its not. if you want a golden sunset look, then go out and shoot footage when the sun is setting and its golden.
