The face tones of Mako's adjustments look right on my monitor, but the sunset has lost character. I spent quite a bit of time calibrating my primary monitor by eye using the ColorSync tool.

Here are both versions together ... the to original one is too dark for a wedding photo imo ... omm (on my monitor

The lower version's sunset looks realistic to me.

Sure, we all have.
But you said the sunset looked more realistic on the version you retouched. The version I posted was an attempt at keeping some "drama" in the sunset while correcting the levels for the face tones.
