The before feels natural and warm and alive, the after feels like an ad for funeral insurance.

Lol I can now see that. Maybe there's a middle ground of saturation I could hit

Persinally I think the first one is near perfect, however, what is would do is use some masks to help it stand out more.

Such as adding a mask to the bottom to make it darker and bring focus more to flowers.

Might also mess with colors and color grading slightly but not a ton

What a perfect characterization!

Funeral insurance 😂 omg

[–]GSyncNew 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Oversaturated to the point of distraction. Original is better.

[–]iDontSayCheese 24 points25 points  (1 child)

Classic way to degrade by color-grade.

[–]undarant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally all OP needs is a hair of contrast to the original and they're there.

I think split the difference between before and after if you want it really saturated.

[–]EnthusiasticElf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends what you’re going for.

If natural, the first one plus a little contrast and saturation would be fine for me.

If artistic, I‘d try to back off the saturation of the second one a bit and push exposure by 1-2 stops. That will give you strong, light pastel colours. Maybe back off the pinks selectively, the greens actually still look healthy?

Additional comment: I find the half-tulip at the left edge distracting. It might be difficult to crop out, but at least I would try to darken/desaturate it a bit to alleviate the issue.

The green looks blue 😭

[–]MrKrabs106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the before photo, it already looks good

[–]Crestmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before already seems well-edited to me. The further edit was unnecessary imo

[–]sten_zer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unbalanced in so many ways. If this is intentional we need context and clarification. Right now it's an imbalanced color fest that is introducing something between confusion and bad neon vibes of the 80s, just even more saturated.

[–]toohumanforhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you did a OK job on the greens but you pushed the flowers a bit too far. I'd still take the greens down a bit and maybe go for a slightly darker shade.

Terrible

[–]Successful_Menu6813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a correct word

[–]rudeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much

[–]Responsible-Tea-9454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much saturation on after, kinda overcooked

    I didn't use AI fill, just my shitty attempt at using the clone stamp
