Title pretty much says it all. shot on t3i, color correction inside FCP, and grading with color 1.5

If this was going for color correction, then I'd say it's too purple (for lack of a better term). Just note that color correction isn't the same as color grading. Color correction generally means correcting the colors to what it should actually look like. Grading means changing the colors from what they should look like. At least that's my view (pretty well uneducated and self-taught in these things). The contrast is also a bit too high IMO.

wish you woulda added a "before" shot, just so we could compare.

I personally thought it was solid correction, but there's definitely room for improvment

I mean, it's kind of opinionated when I say there's something that needs changing. But I personally woulda cooled the image down a bit. The pavement seemed really dry and barren
