That's a cool shot and I'm sure it was great experience.
With so much detail to look at, this would look good printed big.
I just realised that the reflection you removed must have been from the glass window of the helicopter. There's no sign of it on the photo so it must have worked very well :-)

Shooting landscapes could be very nice experience I imagine, quite different view from up there. Though now the drones allow to get similar views safely and with much smaller cost. Always nice to see different parts on earth.
-
Nice scenery thought I'd frame it bit differently to get rid of horizon in middle. Maybe framing bit up to show more of those white fluffs or bit down to reduce blank sky and give more space to ground.
-
I think that this image is well worth of being happy. And proud. Love it, nice scenery and lovely colours here. This trunk and branches are adding nice contrast to otherwise young and lush greenery, some glimpses of sky add feel of free space after a while and lightness.
-
I like this shot, tree with dark branches seems to attack somebody on your left.
-
These shots indeed make you thing of fresh unpolluted air. With intense spring smells and colours and maybe little hint of maturity with small fade of lush colours already...
-
I wish to be so young, again. Alas, I'm well over 50... My title referred to his look toward me when I stopped beside and made this photo. To his credit he did continue filming after having this side look toward me.
For these shots I used indeed quite neutral first BW profile, my previous BW shots from this camera were with second profile, resembling more contrasty and sensitive film with added grain. Maybe next time out I'll to use 4th profile, which seems to be designed for portraits and then decide which one to settle or take as basis and customize upon. So many possibilities, so little time.... -
With such tones looks like Snow Queen reception.

Love it! needs to be seen full size and full res to 'appreciate' all the identikit apartments. There's some weird depth of field blur due to the stitching I guess but it doesn't detract.
-
It's an excellent new resource to have.
-
That "could" be due to the free site I've used to host the image. I can't access Flickr from here, uploaded from my phone to imgBB and linked from there.
In saying that, I just might not have noticed it as I'm only editing on a cheap portable USB C monitor that I picked up just for a bit of travel. -
It's that land of contrasts again
-
Nice. I almost thought that biker might be about to go speeding up that chute.
-
A magnificent view!
-
A very peaceful place and nice composition.

Music time. This is from a concert I went to Sunday night. As you can imagine, lighting was awful and there's been a fair bit of post processing. But do enjoy the pictures - and maybe go and look up "Ghost of the Machine" to listen to their music (it's prog-rock).
-
Som niice shots, my favorites are first two for moments captured there.
Yes, these small venues can be problematic for photography due to low light levels and low hanging lighting sets beause of low ceiling, causing counter light shooting. Also small stage means that it will be quite cluttered and it's not easy to get nice isolated shots of artists.
I have made for my concert shots preset, which gets basic adjustments in place (some contrast and levels adjustments, noise reduction) and then I go over each image to see if it needs additional processing (maybe bit cropping or additional level/colour adjustment). Generally I try to minimize post-processing, for I want to get those images out as soon as possible after show when people involved have most interest in these memories. Additionally far too often I have tried to improve some image and afterward I realize that I've drifted in wrong direction and actually first edits are best so I try avoid this extensive processing.
