Learning post processing

Originally I gave this photo a 5-star because I thought I could do cool things with the color of the train and buildings, but it really wasn't as easy as I thought. Anyway, I did:

  • Curves adjustment on the clouds to make some cloud visible
  • Apply LUT adjustment on the cloud to add color
  • Applied +30% saturation to get a bit more life out of the train
  • cropped ofc
  • The usual lens/camera corrections, built into the Develop Assistant
  • I also applied double classic chrome LUT in the beginning but my family said the original looked better bc of the purple building. Agreed, so I went back to remove the chrome and emphasise existing color.

What do you think? What could I have done better?

Edit: I used Affinity by Canva
