I think that the landscape looks great. I say this because in this reference pic from TONE71 you can clearly see that in the distance is a distinct haze. Which is very common, and looking at Olegs' Screenshot you can see the haze is present all the way to the shoreline.

In the above reference pic, the haze has burned off in the near distance. I fly a lot and I can vouch for the presence of this haze effect, which dampens and flattens the colour of the ground and skies... The ground is really very well rendered..
exactly, the main point with the recent high altitude screenshots is that what we see of the terrain below shows good detail in the ground contours, toning the color palate (or density of foliage/scrubs/trees/hedges) is a very minor and easy component (and is not the purpose of showing those shots imho)
