A lonely figure standing at the shores of the Baltic Sea. This scene once again opened my eyes for the dimensions of our being. Look how tiny we are, compared to the inconceivable expanses of our surroundings:

Woow, nice angle
and definitely tiny. It cost me some time to find you. LOL

Thanks for stopping by and taking your time to comment on my pic I have to admit, that the figure you have found is not me, though. It is just a person enjoying the beauty of nature and the nice landscape  - as I did, too.

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you like it! I really can't tell you, what the best settings on the p4p are. As the Spark is my first drone, I am just beginning to expand my photographic skills with aerials. At the moment I leave the settings on automatic mode and use my usual workflow in post processing.

In this case I used some shots from a series of a sphere shot to produce a panorama with the built-in routine of Adobe Lightroom. Then I adjusted the white balance an did some fine-tuning on shadows and lights. The conversion to black and white was done in SilverEfexPro 2 (part of the NIK collection, offered now for free from DXO).

I hope these notes give you a slight hint on your question. Btw, although there are many "rules" for photography from many honorable people,  there is no "wrong" or "right" in photography imho! It is all about the fun of using whatever you like to get an image of the things you encounter in your long journey called life. If you like what you have captured, it is much more worthy than what others think about it.

I Really like the photo and what you said about photography couldn't be more true.

This is a nice picture.
I might have tried to crop the lower part so you only have water in the bottom.
Not sure if that works better, but maybe

I wouldn't change a thing... That is the magic of this pic.
That's all there and the little human compose even better the pic.

That is a nice detail indeed, although I feel it is out of balance now.
It is just a suggestion of course

Thank you for your feedback, I am happy about the conversation this picture has brought up! I also tried some differrent versions beforehand, but imho the lonely person made the picture a bit more meaningful, so I ended up with exactly these dimensions in cropping. For a pure landscape or nature shot the scene is not powerful enough for my tastes.
