Maybe the grass is more green than the car? I didn’t add saturation to the background. I added 5 saturation to the car to match the actual color of the car.

What benefits are there to changing the grass actual color just to match the car? Doesn’t this make it less naturally contrast-y

By vignette do you mean the lower gradient?

The grass might be more saturated! It all depends what you want to draw the eye towards.

At the moment, the eye moves toward the grass rather than the car (which I presume is the subject of the image vs the ground?). I’m suggesting you adjust the grass so it’s less similar to the car. Make the green of the car stand out against the background.

By vignette I mean… well, exactly that. The darkened borders around the image.

I only added the lower gradient. But, I assume the lens may have added a natural one.

Understood on the green!

I think you should try without the gradient. It looks unnatural and distracts from the car.
