help with colors

[willow harbor]

i feel like there is something wrong

its probably that your own original colors in the mid to foreground are cooler and darker than the reference pictures while the background looks pretty close. also, check out the difference in how they place their varying values:

i do think the perspective is a little off with the left person, their height against the bg implies a low angle while the person on the right feels like a pretty straight-on angle

tysm

how could i fix that tho

sorry its messy, i moved both of the subjects and moved the mountains + sky up to match the left persons angle more closely. very loosely adjusted the colors to have less contrast + made both people a little lighter to match approx. where they are in relation to foreground/midground/background since that tells us about their distance

i just did it quickly based on what felt right so you should double check LOL i really do recommend looking at different horizon lines
