I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.
I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

I think both could use some more subject illumination from the front. Both could probably be adjusted in software. I like the way the light is falling on them though.
First photo I like the composition. With adjustments to the exposure as mentioned above, I think her eyes can have a bigger impact and improve the photo.
In the second photo, the wings are distracting. The tattered look is ok, but the part that comes lower than the other and looks like a tail I don't think belongs.
I agree with Matt here, the second image could use some light on the front end of the subject and you could almost blow out the wings even more to give them a little less detail! Love the concept and location though!
Normally I would 100% agree with the two gentlemen in the comments about the light, but there's something really cool about the atmosphere of the second photo... I really, really like it as-is. Well done.
The first photo, I feel like we're not really getting a sense of the novelty of the subject matter. I think that's what I like most about the second - we see the wings, and they look like a normal part of the picture. Surreal. I think that's why I like the lack of front-illumination: nothing's out of place, and it convinces me I'm looking at a creature.
Also the forground corner adds to this "real" effect - it looks like we're catching a fleeting glance of something we're not supposed to be seeing.
You take photos of Angels and you want critics... forget it, let us just stare at them... :-)
