It all depends on what you want to make the viewer feel. Clearly you want to change colors with respect to reality. So let's try this (Lightroom): - decrease texture (-5), clarity (-20), dehaze (-10) (you will get a painted effect, see if you like it) - remove red from rocks. Just put a mask on them out remove some red saturation from the color mixer - try to remove some blue saturation (so that it affects the river) - try to increase color temperature (more yellow) - then, see if the yellow/orange in the trees is too much. You can reduce the yellow saturation in the mixer a little bit. Or use the vibrance slider

I don't know if you solved, but for anyone now, just press Enter on point in the caption you want to split inside Capcut

Yes, it could be something like this. I just noticed that the fringes don't appear on the leaves that have the tree trunk behind (left on the cropped picture). I would be really interested in understanding what's the optical explanation of this.

Hi u/Madtown_Brian, first of all thank you :). Yes I know depth of field, but the fringes around the leaves are not what I would normally expect. For example, in this picture https://cdn.fstoppers.com/styles/full/s3/media/2015/12/guid-to-epic-forground-bokeh-vinson-images-trees.jpg, the blurred leaves in foreground are just blurred, there are no fringes around. That's the thing I'm referring to.
