This seems to me to be a bit too much on the blue/cyan side. Love the composition, but colors just don't feel right.

For me too, the colors are off, especially the cyans. Another thing that bothers me a bit is the wide-angle effects on the sides of the image.

I don't know - I think the colours convey the situation well - in shade or after the warmth has left the light during dusk).  I certainly recognize the time and feeling of what is being conveyed here, though I am hopefully close to camp or cooking over a fire during this time!

But I also used to shoot a lot of uncorrected daylight balanced film, so I usually leave my WB to 'daylight' and only change in case of severe artificial light or cast - usually when people are in the frame.

If you do warm it up, I think only a small increment is needed.  It's a nice 'sense of place' shot.

far too blue IMO at this end and it's a great photo if you can remove some to blue which is pretty easy in LR. I would also add some contrast and some fill light.

I took the yellow to 89 BTW
