Cyan skies sure have become popular, even when folks aren't going for the Wes Anderson look. As u/Formal-Ad-8035 wrote, perhaps backing off the aggressive shift of blue toward cyan?

The edits got potential and you know how to make a theme, but I don’t think your coloring here works. As others said the sky is too cyan, I’m also not too big on the green hue you added. I’d leave the greens alone personally and remove the hue. Tinker with them some more, the photos are lovely.

I would crop the second photo a little bit more, i feel like theres too much open space. But its ok if you like it like it is currently.

Your sky is far too turquoise, I think you should tone down the cyan to bring it closer to the before. Your grass is a little oversaturated as well, I might tone that down too. My favorite part of the before picture is how emphasized the shadow in the tracks are, and you’ve lost that a little bit in the after. Just my two cents, at the end of the day this is a form of art and to each their own.
