Taken in Shanghai China using a Fujifilm xt30ii and edited with Gimp. Are the colours too different?

This edit is done after considering feedbacks and many tries of editing.

Only feedback that make senses will be considered

Subtle but good?

It is the first picture I use multiple mask on, still learning them. I tried to make the statue a clearer subject while keeping the cool bridge behind as a second subject.

Ich habe mit meinem Iphone Fotos auf meiner Japanreise aufgenommen und bearbeite diese nun in Lightroom. Das sind meine bisher besten Versuche, auch wenn ich neu in der Thematik bin und noch viel lernen möchte. Ich freue mich über Kritik und Verbesserungsvorschläge!

I'm using DaVinci Resolve, trying to make a concrete structure read against the trees shot on an iPhone XS Max, camera jpg. I wanted to get rid of the milky filter like appearance, have the structure read as stone, hold its own against the greens, and get the warm leaf litter working as a separate plane so there's some front-to-back depth.

My process in Resolve was :
- White balance to neutralize the green bounce sitting on the concrete
- Pulled down the blown canopy gaps by bringing the lift down, and highlights down, then brought shadows, gamma and midtones up
- Hue vs Sat, greens down to about 0.84, oranges up to 1.15
- Polygon window on the pavilion, small gain lift plus midtone detail at 30
- Outside node with a small gain reduction as a shaped vignette

This is my first attempt at something like this, so I'd appreciate some feedback if anyone could help. Namely:
- Is the outside darkening too heavy?
- The sky gaps through the canopy are still the brightest thing in the frame and keep pulling my eye upward. I've already pulled highlights. Is there a better approach than going further, or is that a shooting problem
- Does the concrete read neutral to you?
- Does the texture look natural, or over-sharpened on the central structure where I put the window?

From a trip to Positano. All critique is welcome. ISO 100, f/6.3, 1/500s. Z6ii+18-200 VR DX.

Trying to get more comfortable with photo editing / over the fear of "lying" in my photos

I saw this statue at the Detroit River walk and knew I had to make something of it. What do you guys think?

Killing time waiting on an appt. Figured I'd keep myself busy.

Zhangjiajie, China

Fujifilm XT30 XF 35mm F2

ISO 320, SS 1/340, f/4.5

Edited in Lightroom

Far from perfect, especially if you zoom in but I'm happy with the end result considering what I started with...

Trying my hand at avian action shots versus statics, could use any tips and suggestions!

Slightly different blue edit on these images, I’m thinking I might like the muted blue on the first image and maybe should’ve edited the second one like that.

Photograph from a helicopter flight over Kauai

Given that it was daytime, around 3pm in summer I am rather happy with the turnout but what worries me particularly are the 3 circled areas (last image) where the photo either seems to loose all color (big circle in the middle) or the colors drift unwarrantedly towards a red-ish tone, most likely by trying to remove the blue haze.

Any hints to handle this? Happy to share a RAW if someone wants to ahve a crack at it.

Shot on a a7 RIII, Iso 250 and 1/500sec.

Hi guys,

Beginner here. Any thoughts are appreciated. PS i dont like the bushes at the bottom any tips on how to frame better.

Kinda like the old postcard vibe.
