Was out playing with my Mavic Air yesterday and shot some photos of the development that I live in.

It's a 55+ golf community in central Florida........I shot some in manual and some in auto....

You tell me which these are shot in.

No-one can tell as there is nothing special about images shot with either manual or auto exposure methods that would help identify them.

not really important whether they were shot on manual or auto if you know how to compose and the exposure is correct.
They are all exposed pretty well but on some of them I would follow the rule of thirds more (especially the one with entrance in the foreground) but it can be fixed during post production in most cases.
 
It can be seen in the exifs.
SInce all look great with my eyes,
there is normally no need to shoot in manual.
In case you doubt about the best setting, use AEB.
 
You tell me which these are shot in.
The exif info does indicate which were shot with manual metering.
It also shows your shutter speeds were quite slow for bright daylight (1/100 - 1/160th).
That sounds like you probably had an ND filter which is not doing anything for the photos but is making things harder for you.
