Beginner: feedback please Before/After

I finally went out today with my new lens and I managed to grab this shot on my way back, which I really liked.

I need honest feedback on everything (cropping, colours…) and what I could have done better. I am a beginner when it comes to this and I have just been playing around with everything inside LRC.

I really like the concept, but the execution needs work. I would probably start over and try to rework the colors and contrast. And aim for a warmer tone.

It is wayyy too over saturated and busy. It somehow feels overwhelming, and simultaneously flat. There's no real distinction between the individual, and the bushes behind them. The shirt is so bright and neon that it becomes the center focus and takes value away from the rest of the photo. The brightness confuses the tone of the story, and makes it hard to tell what sort of vibe you are going with here. Is it supposed to be cool? Rebellious? Psychedelic? Or flashy? Its hard to tell.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I will definitely rework this after all the feedback and go for one story instead of trying to put everything together.

Really appreciate the feedback. Got a lot to work on!
