>>4454759>imo looks like a memory scene from a movieyeah true, in that case you could go even further in this direction
more brightness, some desaturation, maybe a crop closer to the kids in the pool for a stronger nostalgic/childhood memory feeling
apply some contrast to the tones between the near-white/white areas and the midtones of the swimmers, make them stand out a bit more (if you try a crop). I usually do this with the second tone curve in RawTherapee, idek how to do it in other software.
when it's experimental all bets are off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
maybe some vignetting would make it feel "distant" in time as well. maybe black-and-white or a film sim even? could help evoke a "fading" feeling.
