colour clipping in the sky and missing detail. I did not check further.

20180623_145511:

No detail in the hills in the background. No real detail for the rest. I do not think that you tried to edit out the powerlines, I think those are the effects of the in-camera "optimization".

The asset is underexposed. Chack your histogram. 

The white balance is wrong.

Colour banding in the sky. I did not check the exposure, but the wb may be also a bit off. The details are better, but the powerlines are really bad.

I suppose that is the picture with the crooked powerlines that @Jill_C mentioned. The hill is missing detail. The exposure needs a slight correction, there may be a contrast and wb issue.

The sky could be more saturated (I may have over-corrected in this example), and the water could be lightened.

There are lens spots in the sky and it looks like you did an incomplete job of removing power lines.
