Bit of the island

[sm3g]

I tried to take lots and lots of landscape snaps over new years period - turns out it is something I struggle with a lot!
I found one that at a glance looked quite washed out and over exposed - white everything, didn't rate it. Had a go at fixing it up in lighroom (still very new to both) and think I have improved it.

Exposure: -0.12
Contrast: +45
Highlights: -100
Shadows: -50
Whites: -26
Blacks: -21
Clarity: -5
Those are the values I changed in Lightroom.

To me the orange looks a bit too bright (it was quite stand out, but almost looks fluro in places I think?) but the other colours didn't seem to suffer quite the same fate.

Please c&c welcome and appreciated for both the before and after. Pointers for shooting landscapes in general that I seem to have struggled with here also handy!
