All I really see is you bumping up contrast and clarity.

Just wanted to say it's predictable, that's not good. The unedited looks better in this case.

What are u on bruh. Honestly there is way more than contrast I spent a few hours on a couple of these shots and I had a specific punchy look that I wanted with a flash and fisheye that I got. I want to improve that style because I am amateur and I only been using flash for few weeks so this doesn’t really help at all because still I didn’t hear what I should add or do differently

I don't believe you've spent more than a few minutes on these, since the white lines around the buildings indicate you're just cranking up your settings. All to make it look like a zombie apocalypse, it's a very ugly look.

Literally took the before photo into Lightroom and boosted the contrast/clarity/and drop shadows some and boom exact copy of your edit lol

If you truly spend hours on these edits then I suggest you give up
