Both are overexposed visually, in fact blown out in parts. Not sure what you are doing in capture/post processing but you have high spikes at the dark and white ends of the histogram.
Yes there is a bit high end blue but every single shot I look at with a blue sky is skewed that way so I'm a little confused? I'm trying to figure this out so if something is out White or Black spike in the histo would someone please explain what I'm not seeing?
Ok I think I figured out what was wrong and I'm a tad miffed at it... but anyways...
And hopefully these as well:
Hi,
Exposure looks ok, histograms not clipped.
Check the centring on 2&4.
5 is too low and a tad dark for me.
Re your Lightroom Histogram question - Lightroom is actually showing you four histograms in one. On top is the luminance histogram, shown in gray. This shows brightness values and has nothing to do with color (blue etc..) The histogram is a useful tool, specifically the luminosity aspect "to set optimum brightness and contrast". (see this by Brian: https://forums.jetphotos.com/showthr...-or-Luminosity).
Happy to help with any other Lightroom question(s) (I use it and Photoshop). You have some nice images in the db for a new uploader.

Thanks for the feedback. I've tried getting back into this hobby after throwing my hands up at it about 10 years ago, and after taking some photography courses (and wasting years being loyal to that other site...), glad to know I am getting into the right track this time.
Yes I figured out the histogram in Lightroom, it's a little different than the style I'm used to but I got it now.
Otherwise the thing I was miffed about is I stuck a plugin into PSP2019 for some artistic photography (aka not aircraft related) about a month ago. Didn't realize that one of those plugins did "Optimize JPG on save" even when the rest of the package wasn't used... and you can guess what that did and why I was getting confused since I kept checking Lightroom for levels, contrast etc since I only use PSP for final resize and crop if needed (I don't know why but PSP does a far better bicubic resize than any version of PS I've tried). That's now removed and the above are the result. (Ironically my shot of C-FPJD that got accepted went through the same thing, I guess the brighter colors kept it from going overexposed through that stupid plugin). For a laugh, C-FNFS above and in post 3 are from the same Lightroom shot (cropping might be a little different but the contrast exposure etc are the same)... feel free grab them both and compare and yea... bit miffed as i said that I've wasted weeks and upload slots because of an oversight like that. At least I can laugh at it now
And for the centering I'll double check those again... might of gotten off center a bit in final resize and cropping.
