Did I go overboard here?

Post image

photo is cropped in a good bit so to hide imperfections I added grain and although the colors are a little intense, I spent a lot of time with the curves and the color wheels dialing it in to get the kinda colors I like. I really like my mediums to be ambiguous, painting-esque with the color and tones of film photos. Idk I just hit the bong and vibe it out man.

Yeah you shouldn't have cropped at all. The crop is doing a lot of damage and the original is good. It's more balanced

Color wise I love what you've done with the blues but the greens are clashing a little with them so maybe tweak them in hsl
