I've been doing Photography for years now and use lightroom and Photoshop a lot but I still can't fine tune my images to how I would like them, I take really nice images but I find my colours never look as good as other posters on Instagram... they seem to get this really nice sort of film look to them with nice glowing saturated green, again I always seem to struggle to get that effect.
 
I guess its safe to say we will all have different opinions on what looks right and wrong when it comes to a photo. I may look at a photo and think its really good and someone else will say its rubbish.... I guess thats the same with how you colour grade your work, we see a lot of wedding photos now with washed out Greens and very bright whites , some people will hate this look and other will love it, I guess its just finding something that fits with your style, I tend to get bored very quickly so i tend to change mine all the time, so i don't really have a style but I guess i should work towards that, from what I am seeing on social media , youtube and Instagram , the most popular photographers today have a style and keep it the same in all there images..... maybe thats where I've gone wrong....

A lot of my photos I edit on Instagram I change all the time and every other month i will change the colour tone for that image a little, sometimes ill go for a really vibrant photo and other times the complete opposite , very dark browns and a moody look , I see some photographers move the white balance to a more blue look or a spring look with moving it more towards the yellow side.... to me Photography is an Art but its finding my style that fits me that,s the problem here. ha
