You are a great picture taker, I’m sure a professional. I went through a lot of your photos and loved them all, especially the black & white ones. You’re also a great traveler. Good work!

Great photo but something looks wrong. Is that the original sky? No sign of sunlight on the scene or harsh shadows that you would expect on a sunny day.

Not a professional for sure , but I have been a photography 'aficionado' for more than 10 years now. Hope to take great pictures with the drone, although I need to learn a new way to looking at things... from above!!

Yes, that's the original sky. Just checked on photopills and the sun was just behind the drone, and quite high in the sky, hence the absence of hard shadows.
Also, as this is the merged result of AEB bracketing, the difference between light and shadows is considerably reduced.

For your reference, this is a single raw file where you can see the big contrast between sky and land

Not the same photo though. Not criticising in any way. The HDR procedure often looks artificial. As you will be well aware, it’s a careful balancing act to keep the image looking natural.
