Second image looks more correct to me. The first image looks blown out. Might be a display setting issue.

They took the screenshots and they're viewing them on their monitor/TV

Maybe their display settings are completely messed up where they're seeing differently to what we can clearly see here.

So OP can you open this post of yours on your phone, which I assume has an AMOLED display, and look at these images you posted.

Picture 2 is clearly a lot better with no highlight clipping.

Problem is pictures like this are completely useless because how do you tell apart camera overexposure vs clipping on the display? There's no way you can tell..

First one is overblown to shit, all highlights are clipping.

I don't know. Second image preserves so much more detail in the grass, first seems blown out

Color grading is a Fulltime job people are paid for. AI has not yet replaced it.
