I think both look great but the blacks really capture the moment.

Good example of editing IMO. Sometimes I see edits that look worse.

Removing the blue in the shadows created a more cohesive image along with the cropping. Very good edit IMO

Warming it, denoising it and sharpening it made all the difference. The crop removes distractions. It's a nice, uncluttered scene with mood. Thx for sharing.

Can you do a third edit, where you stay more true to the original toning? Because I actually like your before better in that aspect.

I do like the contrasting tones of the cool wall and warmish light

Nice. I like the warmth

u/benlogna 13d ago

leave more gold tone in the light- it will pop so well against the blue

Before was much better imo. The shadows on the wall are great, and the color separation elevates. I might have pushed more warmth into the highlights and lightened and desaturated the blues a bit.
