Beyond the Cosmos

[that1guy]

One cold overcast winter day, in the northern part of Okinawa. In a small little town called “Kin” lay hidden the Cosmos flower field…. we make our own stories!

I would appreciate any and all C&C

I like the image, but I'd like to see the processing dialed back a little bit.

She is cute but the editing is overdone, imo.
I think

there is an overall magenta tint
the image is low in contrast
the oof areas look overdone and fake-y
lots of noise

The magenta, and low contrast I did in Photoshop. I edited the photo this way. As far as the noise I really didn't notice a lot of it. I will have to check again

The out of focus areas are actually straighten out of the camera I didnt add any additional blur. I actually sharpened the photo a bit. I can share the raw file if you like

If you could remove that purple cast in the subject's skin tones, it might make the photo look a lot better imo.

I intentionally put the purple casts there trying to give it a more fantasy feel but I agree I could have masked the skin tones in a bit more in PS
