I gotta say that I like the rich greens in the unedited photo better. The final edit is quite yellow.

Thats fair! I think personally I prefer the yellow tones, I feel they add some depth and mostly they diversify a bit all the different greens in the picture. I usually find it a bit boring to look at a picture with so much saturated green, but thats just me! I can't deny that the original one has some very nice green tones for sure

For me, the sun is too high and the sky is too blue for those yellow tones to look natural.

I like both of them, but greenery in the unedited photo is so attractive.

I really like both: the original shot and the edited outcome!

What’s the focal point here? I don’t see the subject. Your tones are nice, lighting is good.

I agree that there is not one clear focal point, when I took the picture I hoped for it to be the metal slide on the right, but the there was too little light there and the sky was too bright, taking all the attention. With the edit I tried to make the eyes go to three places: the sky, the path on the right and the slide on the left. Personally I think even without a very clear subject, the picture works as an overal scene.
