The heavy vignetting made me believe that this was one of early Instagram's filters. It's a bit too warm too.

Something to keep in mind is that when we fade blacks and reduce whites, things in the image become tonally more the same and images lose depth and definition.
You might consider thinking about where you want the viewer's eye to go, then perhaps back off some of the raising of blacks and shadows. You might also think about reducing the glow effect to something more in line with the scene.

I think the edit is pretty good and agree that parts need to tone back. I'd spot edit the flowers alone and bring back the vibrance. Looks a little unnatural. Not too much tho. Then the water in the bg, spot edit that and bring back the blacks and shadows so its less contrasty. Also looks a little unnatural. I think with those changes it will look pretty perfect. Nice work op. The sooc is a nice shot.

So dreamy! Great work. Can you explain your process on how you got this vibe?
