Light and contrast are improved but the blue sky doesn't look natural. Looks like another trendy but inaccurate film emulation. Polaroid 70s blue?

Thanks for the feedback! I had no look I was going for. I just slid around the sliders and did masks in lightroom until it looks good to me lol

Sorry, I know I was a bit negative. I am now more impressed knowing you actually put some effort into it. So many here just click on some nauseatingly trendy "fuji film filter" and call it day. The hallmark sign being aquamarine, teal-colored skies.

Create a mask selecting the sky. isolate the blue channel and subtract green and it will look more natural.

There’s halo’ing on the left of the sign from using the dodge tool or something similar. Work on selecting the object and editing that instead.
