The processing definitely creates a retro vibe. Looks like a picture from the 70s.
I would rather expect that on lifestyle and fashion (as you mentioned) but not necessarily in nature

This is very pretty. I like the way the processed colours work with the directionality of the flowers. The raindrops are beautiful.

Well, it would definitely take it in a different stylistic direction than I intended with this edit. :-) Here, I'm going here for a warm, sun-faded matte/distressed-film treatment, so I've actually used some processing decisions to reduce rather than enhance contrast--and to introduce grainy imperfections. But admittedly, it's a stylistic voice that doesn't resonate with all viewers. And I'm far from the best I've seen at recognizing when and how to apply it effectively. But since it seems to be popular in stock photography right now, especially among DTC brands in the fashion and progressive lifestyle space, I'm experimenting with ways to incorporate it into my portfolio of work. Appreciate your kind words!

Got it. I kind of wondered whether the faded look was intentional.
