All that Snow!

A "wish I were there" panorama from ski vacation in the Dolomite.

Large is better

Thanks for looking.

Wow! ....beautiful panoramic shot, I thought at first the poles were telegraph poles, but on closer inspection in the larger view I can see it is a Ski Lift, they form a good leading line through the snow filled valley, leading the viewers eyes to the majestic peaks beyond. I am really at a loss as to why anyone would rate this with 3's but then they haven't even got the courage of thier convictions to state why, which doesn't suprise me.

Hope you had a great vacation Tibi!

Kind Regards

Thanks, Alf.

The vacation was good indeed. From several panoramas I took this is the first one for which I got the rather complicated work-flow right.

Regarding the marks, you see, for this shot they have a neat distribution, so there could be someone to dislike it. And I do get that type of evaluation often, I really wish they would explain me why. Then it would be helpful.

It has to be seen large, It is a very beautiful panoramic winter landscape, and well PP the two parts of snow and mountains. you have well mastered the light and details of the cable cars on the snow.Looks a very nice vacation.

Best wishes for a nice Pesach.

Thanks, Pnina

It was a very nice vacation indeed.

Wish you a pleasant pesach too.

I like the way you reduce the contrast to a point where there are no overblown highlights or dark shadows. This way I can absorb all the detail of a picture in one glorious first-view that invades my visual senses and makes me feel I am there. You do that with the panoramic view and gentle transition from light to shadow, something that requires iMAX or 3D to make a better impact.

Thanks Jack for the kind comment. Indeed I use a masking technique that permits controlling the tonal range separately for the snow and for the background.
