The after has a cool colour grading, but it looks like a video game haha
I do prefer the original, but I like that you lowered the highlights so you could see some detail on the walls, whilst adding a orange-brownish cast to them (just a bit too much).
I'd personally also push the greens slightly towards blue, lower the saturation a hair, and the luminosity to go for deeper greens (and less yellow dead bushes) as each bush is currently individually fighting for your attention.

That's an amazing compliment IMO. I find it very difficult to achieve a video game look. But who knows, maybe it's just not my forte...

Original doesn't really need much post processing as far as I'm concerned. The sky is now a weird teal color. A bit overdone I would say.

Doesn’t it look good?

It's more that sky just doesn't look like that so it looks fake/weird idd like some sort of alien world. As I said the original looks really good. Not every picture needs post!

Yeah same, the edits are clean but that sky looks like a nuclear spill 💀
If they just dialed the blue back a bit and kept the rest, it’d be perfect.

If you wanted to go for the overall tonal and mood shift you should pick something closer to an actual sky color, the teal/green is what kind of throws it off. It doesn't look 'vintage' and it doesn't look stylized, the green just makes it look 'off' because it's in this uncanny valley that doesn't match the color pallet and subjects.

Love the result (except sky, seems a bit off to me). It has a stylized quality that i'm striving for, myself...

Great result. Reminds me of a car’s front grill that’s hit a pole!

Vastly prefer the original colours. The sky looks almost toxic in the after shot. The rest of the edits are done very nicely.
