It's a beautiful shot but you could have made it even better! In Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, open Filter>Camera RAW> and open Masking tool. Using LINEAR mask, drag from bottom up with left mouse key, cursor to the horizon and select the bottom. Then open shadows, texture, and clarity. The commonest problem with these type of exposures is the high dynamic range. The drone sensor reads and exposes for the highlights (sky) and under-exposes the foreground. Your foreground is nearly totally black without any details. See before and after editing with masking tool.
