My pleasure!
To me, the way it’s edited now looks like there’s a filter of some sort over the photo, which gives a slight hazy effect and almost looks a little bit fake.
I did a super quick edit on your original photo so you can see a little easier what I was originally thinking. 🙂 Here’s what I did (besides cropping out the top and the bright area at the bottom): +brightness, -highlights, +shadows, +vibrance/saturation, +clarity, warmed temperature.
Now, I realize your editing program is different so you may not be able to go into that much detail, but that’s kind of what I was envisioning. The other thing I should add is that this is how I would edit the photo; I tend to like things that are bright and have nice contrast. You might edit it differently, and that’s completely fine, too!
