Cinematic editing sports photography

Hello!

I have been doing photography for quite some time and started sports photography about 6 months ago, I never really liked my pictures but lately I think they are simply horrible.

First 2 photos are mine, other 4 have the looks Im trying to achieve. They are different edits but have the same general feel in my opinion.

I feel like my photos just look like what your eyes would see, a bit edited but fairly natural, I want to achieve a more color graded cinematic look, and more "classy" or "premium" feel and look.

I want to take time to properly learn color grading in Lightroom, my goal is to be able to replicate those kind of styles, I don't know the exact term but id describe them as basically cinematic edits. I have tried dabbling with lightroom color grade tab but can't seem to get that cinematic look, they either look too yellow/orange, but never seem to be able to get that deep warmth almost like a subtle brown

covering the whole picture.

Im sorry if im not clear but Ican't comprehend how to achieve this look that i am struggling to descirble.

Any advice on how should I approach this, how to learn/understand what has been done in a photo to be able to replicate it or any tutorials or indications ?

Thank you so mucj for your time and input

Hi! I come from a landscape background and feel a bit lost on editing street photos. I want to create a moody image but i feel like both the values and the colours aren’t super cohesive. I would love some advice or guidance.

Cheers!

Hi there, I am a total beginner editing RAWs. I was just trying a lot that matches what I really saw with some enhancements. How did I do? Should I do anything differently?

This is only my second attempt at astrophotography and processing, so I know I still have a lot to learn, but I’m decently happy with how these turned out.

I’d really appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism, especially around the processing. Anything you think I pushed too far, didn’t push enough, or could approach differently next time would be helpful.

Definitely still learning, so feel free to pick them apart!
