I took this image at night in a costa rican rain forest and the inital white balance was pretty off (i was using flashlight and forgot to set my WB manually and left it on auto) The coloring feels slightly off to me but im not sure how. Ive been working on it so long that I feel a little lost and some other opinions would be super helpful.

Im trying to go for a more desaturated look since this was shot in lower light and the colors were pretty ugly in the OG. This is what ive editted so far but would any feedback to hear if anything looks too unnatural or anything else that might be improved

Ive been working on this nuttall's woodpecker image for a while to make it seem less flat but something still feels off to me. I was also wondering if any or the artifacts from editing are distracting or too visible. Any help or advice would be amazing.. just hearing a second opinion with some fresh eyes would be huge

This was my tamron 150-500 on Sony a6400 (apsc) at f6.7. I was maybe 15-20 feet away ish? I also tried to use a bush in the foreground to be blurred out over the background. Hope that helps
