Critique The Rock of Cashel | Ireland

I tried to keep the colours natural and not over edit - all feedback welcome!

Assuming its a drone shot I wonder if it would be better from a different angle so there is more light on the castle and less in the sky? Or shoot at a different time of day?

Grand view but admittedly a bit of a light fail... the least you could do is retain the highlights in sky but that seems rather unpopular in this subforum anywhere I look.

Why not fly the drone around and shoot away from the sun rather than into it - it's a fairly accepted wisdom in photography to try avoid shooting into the sun where you can. Or leave for another time of the day and shoot this angle with the sun behind you.

This is particularly true of drones with their lower dynamic range and probable struggle to blend different exposures due to movement and then trying to overlay them in post - and also their inability to accept lens mounted grad filters.

Exposure bracketing would be fine since the lens is pretty wide and camera movement minimal .
Often as not blended images can look a bit off though especially with such a huge contrast range as here.
