How to edit images to look like it was taken late in the evening!

Hello fellow steemains, I want to show you guys how I turned this image of a bird I took during a sunny afternoon to look like it was taken late in the evening with just the normal phone editor!

Here is the image below

It looks amazing right! Now I will show you the procedures.
Now this is the image I made.

At first I reduced the highlights and whites with the normal phone editor to bring down the harshness and Whiteness of the cloud to get this.

After that I went back to the phone editor and increased my contrast, black and vignettes (to darken the edges) so that everything looked very dark. After that I now opened my shadows to brighten the images a little and I got this and was a bit impressed!

"Now the image is almost done! - I said"😊

But the image is looking like there is no life in it because there isn't enough exposure... So I went back to the phone editor and increased my exposure a little to get this.
