This image was taken at Long Reef Headland in Sydney, Australia during low tide. I am trying to learn on how to make more dramatic edits and stack images more for dynamic range. In this image after stacking some of the people walking in scene appeared twice so I tried my best to clone them out. I feel the image is too yellow but I am not quite sure how to tone down the yellow without making everything look too flat. I looked through most of my photos and this photo has the most dramatic clouds out of all of them. Any guidance and criticism is appreciated.

The photo looks great, but if you use Lightroom, you can use the "HSL/Color" section, to adjust each color, or "Color grading", to add a bit more blue to just the shadow section of the photo :) Also, using local masks, can be a great way to get more dept in a photo, either with differen color & and contrast, or enhancing lighter and darker parts of the scene :) *I would find someone on YouTube, whos photos you like, and see if they have some editing videos tho, as that can be a good way to learn too :)
