I just got back from Iceland and I couldn't wait to edit this shot. Taken on my first day out on the west coast. I was flying my drone around when the skies opened up and let the sun through. What a great experience and way to kick off a wonderful trip.
Taken with a DJI Mini Pro 4. I took a burst of 5 photos twice. Light room edits, stacked them in PS to reduce noise, brought out the colors and then added sharpening. The software nowadays really helps make these shots good enough to print.

Waaaaayyy too wide. Could be a 4 if the comp wasn’t so wide.
Disagree. If I crop in the sun will be too close to the edge and the cemetery won't balance as well with the pond.
I have another one on my profile that is cropped in and vertical which I like as well, I just like this one more.
That's why I posted it like this. Good news is I can always crop in if I choose later.
I kind of agree with the crop comment. Left and right add no values and cloud have been removed. Positioning the church close to the crossline for rule of third on the right will have been much belter and the focus and church will have been much better. But this is my taste...and your can be valid too! Nice photo!
I will say that cropping is the part I struggle with most. The urge to include everything is quite strong for me. If the sun was a bit lower I likely would have. Check out the other (vertical) one on my profile. I think the crop makes more sense there. But I like horizontal photos more.
You definitely master photography and post. Love all your landscape photos!
