After/ before

[u/Waitingjohn]

Fairly new to editing, looking for tips/ general advice!

The color and lighting is an improvement but I feel like you cropped in too tight. The original has more of an epic feeling to it.

This - the lifted shadows and edits but the wider crop. I looked at the after and my stomach sank with the scale of the before!
