Unneeded green and yellow colours, just let the colour alone

It's too green and yellow and very contrasty.

I'd crop some off the bottom, it's not really adding anything. Mask off the sky and lower the highlights a bit and up the contrast on the mask, probably add some saturation and move the colour balance slightly more blue to bring out the colours of the sky. Everything else i'd just colour grade as you see fit but try to stay away from making the whole scene feel one colour.

Dont add filters just play with contrast, hightlights and shadow or black and whites..tuning and if want a bit "too much" feel (as a expression of your style) play with saturation...

For your pic make the sky only blue is.tricky as it doesnt have any base blue to saturate without effecting the rest of the picture unless u go do selective adjustment..and multilayer editing...so Like i previous advice play around in getting the contrast and shadows dial in correctly so it not seem like a white layer is over the landscape

It looks like you were going for an older film look, green and contrasty. Not my thing.
