ok so this is embarasing but im just gonna post it anyway. went out to an old farmhouse about 40 mins from me, the one i've been meaning to visit for like 6 months. got maybe 15 mins of flight time before wind picked up and i had to call it. only got a handful of raw photos but this one came out decent i think after messing with it in lightroom for way too long. overcorrected the shadows probably but whatever.

mainly wondering if the composition is ok or if im cropping wrong, always second guess myself on that stuff. also the horizon might be slightly tilted, im bad at noticing that until after

horizon tilt drives me insane too, i have to zoom in every single time to check. lightroom has that little angle tool under the crop section if you didnt know, you can just draw a line along something that should be flat and it auto corrects. game changer when i figured that out

composition looks fine from what you described honestly, old buildings tend to just work from above. dont stress the shadows too much either, little bit of crushing the blacks actually looks good on abandoned structures gives it that moody thing. keep posting stuff, the only way to get better at editing is just doing a lot of it and cringing at old stuff later lol
