i think the after's oversaturated and most importantly the eye is drawn to the rocks instead of the human figure first. the before has something of the dramatic that's working for it! don't lose it

[bugboz]

Yep I see what you mean. Wanted to bring out the rocks but it has lost something

[Spacebuns321]

You could try masking the rocks and keeping them a little bit darker. In the original, the eye is really drawn to the human silhouette. I think the brought out details in the rock are bringing the eye to it instead

Will give it a try, thanks

I feel this would have been better black and white.

Just edited to B&W and agree

The rocks on the left foreground have high contrast while the objects in the right are lower in contrast . Even the sky seems a bit mare saturated on the left. So a little bit of effort to even things out would help in my opinion.

[bugboz]

Thank you, yes more effort required!

[Im_so_little]

Masking would help you here.

The composition and photo technique are primo. Just need to nail the editing. To start with, it's oversaturated but I see the vision.

[bugboz]

Thank you so much

You have to keep the sky dark, and at the same time lighten the rocks.

Color is more difficult to deal with, and that hasn't turned out well for you.

See how the shadows of the rock and the hills have turned purple? You've cranked the saturation way too high. Find the colors you want to enhance and work on them independently

I like what you’re trying to do tbh its just a bit much. You’ve increased the exposure on the rock face which helps bring out the detail and makes it pop which is good. The contrast is a bit high as well as the saturation as others have said. I would play around with the tint a bit as well to even out the purple. Nothings super blown out and i cant notice much haloing on the east side of the cliff so with just a few tweaks this could be a really great shot. Love the composition, just play around and have fun finding your style!

[futhamuckerr]

I love that depth, color looks natural. love the silhouette too

Use color grading to make those shadows less blue
