Is my photo oversaturated?

[ecdeveloper]

Hey pilots,

Newbie here. I'm not really a photographer, I just started learning. I was shooting some pictures today with my Mavic 2 Pro, having my settings set to Auto. One of the photos I got feels really really oversaturated, greens are too.. green. Am I getting it wrong? If I'm right, what would you suggest to get those colors right?

Thanks!

Looks ok to me mate, but I dont know what the 'real picture' looks like?
I would continue to practice and play with settings, then evetually invest in a post processor like Lightroom..
For now though, dont be too critical on yourself!! Enjoy and learn!!!

Thanks @Simmo! I'm actually an amateur with photos processing, and I'm willing to stay that way haha! Spending hours/days in Lightroom doesn't sound appealing to me as I always relied on whatever the default settings/processing can bring me. I'll keep playing with my mavic camera settings, but I'm glad the picture doesn't look too bad.

Thanks @Wetfun! Thats for non-raw images, right?

Yes, it does not work with RAW files.

DJI seem to struggle with blues and greens, not so much over-saturated as somehow not quite the right shade, however your pic looks pretty good for a slightly hazy very bright day.
Zoomed right in there's some JPG artefacts and noise reduction splodging, results are quite a bit better shooting raw DNGs

It looks very good!

It’s looks pretty good to me.

Is that a guy hanging on a pole in the trees? Or has my imagination run away with me?

Looks better than mine and I put mine through post???

IMHO You photo looks fine. Applying the right amount of saturation is generally a personal preference, just like when various films were used for their various color results.

FWIW

I hope it's your imagination!

Also, thank you all! Now I feel much better about my recent Mavic purchase haha.

Take some of the expert advice above. But it’s a darn good pic right now!

Think I see what you mean, it looks like a transformer box on a power pole, lucky hey ?

Ha mate,
The picture looks pretty good, but I understand why you ask. It seems like the blues and greens are a bit strong, something I also noticed with my M2P. It may be a case not of saturation, but whitebalance. Maybe you can play around with that first, before delving into post.
On days like these, you can easily switch the white balance from "auto" to "daylight", or "sunny" (don't recall the term DJI uses). You will see quite some difference in the result. Also, be sure to leave the settings on "jpeg & raw", so at least you can play around in photoshop or any other RAW editing program. Maybe not with the aim of post-processing, but it might help you to get the right settings when shooting.

I like it just as it is.
