Anyone here good at their colours/contrast? I have tried editing the colours in this photo countless times, but I’m still not happy with them. I’ve tried changing so many things about, but just can’t seem to get the colours looking natural. Bear in mind this was taken quite close to sunset, hence the orange/yellow.

I like that one to!!
I think it just comes down to preference as to change a colour you add another. The colour opposites are as follows-
cyan(blue) – red(bright)
yellow – blue(purple)
green – magenta(deep red)
The colours in the brackets is how they look to the eye.

I would have said it had a red colour cast, buts that’s me. Based on that, I played for about 30 seconds, lol. All I have done is played with colours very slightly, and havent touched contrast/brightness.
Is this any better?

The yellow cast is caused by the halogen effect from the sun.I am not sure if you will get the colours right as you are adding blue to get rid of the yellow and so this is adding another colour cast. It looks more purple but trust me its blue!
To be honest I like it the way it is.
Hope this helps!
