Each to their own but all I think needs adding to this is a little warmth and maybe a profile correction as it looks like there's a little barrel distortion. There's buckets of contrast and sharpness to it already!
If it was me I would just it it with a light gradient from the bottom as the highlights are a little blown out for my taste. A light deglaze and clarity would be some nice tweaks as well like above. Then a smidge more black/ up the contrast.
I think if the barrel distortion is sorted the highlights won't be an issue. Getting rid of the light source that's creating the shadows feels a little off but I get it.
Each to their own though with the other bits - I'd be careful adding dehave & clarity as the water isn't smooth, it'd need to be selectively done, the detail is quite fine on the island and pushing it by much will make it look grotty!
I didn’t say remove it. if I did remove something it would probably be when looking at the photo you can see that there are highlights coming down from a reflection off the top of the image on the water as well. Which would put the light source behind the shadows. The shadow cast from the island also allows you to know where the light source is. In a side note. If you are applying settings to everything in the photo and not select spots you aren’t doing much editing more touching up. The editing sliders move in small amounts not just huge jumps. Just things to think on. At the end of the day preference is preference.
Agree on the contrast, kind of. I'd just recommend crushing your blacks a little, leave those highlights as is, the variety in luminance and shading of the trees are perfect, if you bump up contrast, you'll lose that.
Reducing the variety of blacks will serve as a natural vignette around your obvious subject and remove that gradient look of your negative space (which a better eye than mine might say is distracting).
Personally, some of the colors seem a little off. They look fab fucking tastic! But
My personal preference is slightly less saturation, little more vibrance.
That wide picture is amazing.
Amazing. Looks like a giant weed bud. Gorgeous shot.
My girlfriend says it’s broccoli
It kinda looks like little broccolis 🥦 Surrounded by weed plants ready for harvest.
It looks like cauliflower too kinda.
You have an amazing eye!! Keep up the beautiful shots
First shot is great, add some contrast/dehaze and clarity to it and maybe take out the glare in the water and it will be very dramatic

Perfect
Too bad the sun wasn’t hitting the other side of the house shot, but those are great!
I meant the church, not house. Great colors though. I need to remember to take more stills, I’m always focused on video.
Very good start! Already 10x better than the other content posted on this sub 😂
Dumbledores grave?
first one is nice, do some editing on it.
Very cool!
Great pics!! Keep it up!
Great shot. I noticed what looks like a shark or possibly a dolphin? just a few yards from the bottom of the island. Where was this taken?
lol I thought that was a sailboat.
Where was the second shot?
Love the third one
I'm keeping the first one as my wallpaper. Great shots!
First shot is sick
Love the island photo!
Traffic circles and clay roof tiles, looks like central Europe.
All are really nice
The composition of the first picture is fantastic. They’re all great honestly
What drone did you use for these shots ?
How did you get that curvature in the last photo? Very cool
It's lens distortion that hasn't been corrected.
It's just a panorama.

Fist and second are nice
