This photo is really scenic, from beginning I thought you took the photo using a drone. But you did very well with camera.

Thanks Jack Jack ! I'm actually on top of a cliff about 200 metres high, hence the impression of a drone flight.
I will post another view with a foreground.

It is true that it is a bit dark... I can try to edit this foreground a bit. If I'm happy with the result, I'll post the image.

You were right Andy Smith Andy Smith. I lightened the foreground slightly and I like the result better. I wanted to keep a good contrast on the parts of the forest lit by the sunlight passing between the clouds.

Here is the result:

I like this edit much better as it seems to draw my eyes in and through the valley better.

I don't think there's big difference from first photo, or is just my eyes 🤔

The change is subtle, but the forest in the foreground is brighter.
