This one for me - superb. Highlights look good (not overcooked), with magnificent diffraction spikes. Comfortable shadow detail and a composition that matches the UWA really well. Would be a great Explore candidate

Not too shabby at all, but the other version wins for me.

I've yet to be challenged directly, but have had several friendly encounters with curious passers-by over the years. At this site I would have thought you could have taken off and got to an inaudible height without him even noticing - 15 seconds max. Any luck retrieving your files or establishing why/how they were wiped?

So inviting. A vertical frame that included the sun and its reflection might have been good too, assuming the sun wasn't too high in the sky.

Eye popping golden yellows. Ripper impact.

A fine collection that looks to be fairly old and beautifully crafted.I like the inclusion of the reflected peepers. Liz and I went to a concert featuring similar big drums, a spectacularly loud event performed by a group visiting from Japan. Thumping, pulsing rhythms ... and L went to sleep!

Back story?

The blue sky of the gr version is certainly nicer; the blue sky fringes in the trees is a bit distracting, but I prefer the brighter colours and composition of this one.

Both stunners in their own right, but this one's my fave too. Just gorgeous.
Can't help you with the lost images but it appears you're not alone. I typed in a question about your issue for Google to consider and there were/are heaps of references about the problem, from users all over the world, but no solutions that I could find. The favoured speculation is that it's a firmware issue. You might like to try the DJI Forum ...

Lovely scene that looks very hard to hike through. I hope you're not searching for Mavica.
