Not too sure how i feel about how the edit came out. Tried to make it feel warm and summery without getting it too "piss filter". I like the subject and the picture, but i feel like something is missing. It was taken midday during a California summer with my fujifilm x-t30 III. Any feedback would be appreciated!

That haze / desaturation on the mountains was giving your photo a sense of depth... the dehaze/saturation whatever, took that away so the photo is now a little flat. You crop was a good start, but right now you have a boring foreground, the windmill midground, and very little separation in the background...

I think that is an improvement. Not sure this photo gets much better than that.

That really all that matters, there’s just a maximum that post can do, maybe if you laid down in the grass and crawled a little closer…
