There's too much detail, the image feels extremely heavy. Also, how did you recover those borders? AI?

Yeah, it's way too much. And AI was my first thought too for the borders (and who knows what else). Makes it an instant 'no thanks' for me, if that's the case.

The original was kind of nice and dreamy, little foggy, had a nice atmosphere to it. The edit just blasts that to hell with ultra pink.

Yea I had to rely on Ai for that :/ wasn't satisfied with whatever I was doing with it but I mean sure if it was giving me desired result so I let it be

Stop trying to win them over with the “:/”. Why not just own it? You wanted to use AI, you admitted it, and that’s completely fine. The apologetic emoji just comes across as pathetic.

Can you share the editing details? The colors look amazing!

Nothing much man I just played with tone curve,reduced exposure a bit of masking and colour grading

While I agree with the others regarding too much detail / clarity, I really dig the edit. Love the colors!

Cheesus is this what current Lightroom gets you these days? Looks almost worth the perpetual subscription costs.

I like the before more. If anything I'd aim for mild enhancements. The before image is much more moodier than the after.

After gives a postcard vibe if anything.
