What do you think of my color grading ?

We filmed some urban today, flat light. I just want to know what you guys think of the color corrections. I just threw in some random shots, no editing, shot with a Gopro.

Thanks for the feedbacks.

You really shouldn't use the vignette, but if you really want to, turn it down a bit.

The colors seem a little flat. Kinda hard to work with those conditions but maybe try adding a little saturation and cooling the temperature. The colors from the skiers don't really pop out and since they're what you're trying to capture they need to pop out.

yeah it seems youre stuck in that middle ground where everything looks flat. either up saturation and contrast, or drop it to black and white. generally if i have lighting conditions like that i'd rather have it in black and white.

also the word youre looking for is correction. colour grading is more of a creative process
