I think it came our rather well. If I'd taken the shot, I might have monkeyed with the levels to see if I could lighten it up or increase some contrast, but as it is, you can definitely tell the difference in colors of the ocean and the sky, and the rocks do stand out in the foreground with a nice neutral color.
Thank you @glenalbrethsen. If I knew how to I would also have liked to monkey around with levels but I only have Google photos editor to work with and not enough skill or time.
If I had photoshop and, knew how to use it, I would have made the blues more blue and more contrasting but then I look at most of my photographs and feel the same way.
I can see how to improve them but don't have the time or skill to do so. Oops. Maybe I shouldn't have said that here. It might bring the "not taking it seriously enough" brigade after me! 😁
The photographer folks take this seriously? No! :)
Well, see, I do have photoshop, and use it mostly to resize my photos. I'm not an expert at it, though. I'm sure someone else who knew more could do a much nicer job. On some phone cameras there's supposed to be some settings you can go into and change, but I've never had any. Or there's apps that can do that too, but again, I haven't tried those. So, the ones that do come out a little darker I can lighten, and I can try to create some contrast, but for the most part, I'm just taking photos outdoors with the ambient light and calling it good.
Yep. That's me too. My phone doesn't have many settings although the night one does seem to make a difference, if I remember to use it, which I usually don't! 😁
Other than that I just crop, resize and us the occasional filter on Google photos.
