Ok, "Disclaimer" so I might have some editing issues. I always tried to get out of camera and refused to get Ps. I realized that its kinda a must but I have just been playing around with it ..still i guess. So with that admitted I picked up a new body this weekend. 7DII. After finally being able to see the raw images through subscribing to cc I have been scratching my head lol. I moved up from a rebal 1000d. I knew the pictures would look a little bit different but it seems a little too different. I really need to get used to a much more high tech advanced camera. So looking for help here to understand...
They seem to come out of the camera with the whites kinda blown. nothing it clipped tho. Exposure is correct in camera and on the histogram.
Both shots I had to drop the highlights and the whites about all of the way down. I pulled a a little of blue out of the top shot. ND filter for the sky on both. darkened the greens a little.
Do they look odd to you? I cant put a finger on it but it almost looks like its too dynamic. maybe me coming from such a cheapo camera? Should I check any in camera settings that are not obvious. I shot in neutral with everything at 0. I wanted to see what the RAW really looked like. Maybe I shouldn't have haha.
c&c always welcomed on everything.

Just a fun one, hanging out! I would have centered myself but there were a lot of trees to the left..

The other side .. I think the greens got pushed to far on luminance. The left tree looks a little like hot dog relish
