This 'feels' more like a crop from a photo than a 'real' vertical panorama. There's very little interesting going on in the strip we see.

To be honest, it's a bit, well, dull. Light is flat and the composition is not really interesting. Perhaps a photo with one of the tree trunks up close might have worked better. Sharpness is good though.

Superb!

Thanks Dennis and Glenn. Glenn: actually this is an HDR, which makes exposure a no-brainer. That most HDR looks awful is because IMHO it needs some postprocessing to make it look natural, which I think, in all modesty, this photo is. In retrospect I should have added a -4 exposure as well, -2 was not enough to prevent the blown-out part below the sun.

I hope you still have your original photos, because the postprocessing on this -and quite a few others in this folder- is rather poor and very unnatural. Composition and detail are good though.

Superb! Must have been great being there.

Lovely! Must have been great being there. Splendid composition/exposure/sharpness.

 

Lovely photo. Detail must be incredible if it is stitched from so many photos. I visited your homepage: a lot of great photography there.

Lovely! Much detail. I think I would crop the upper 10% or so.

Very cool! But I'm having trouble making sense of the architecture: are these all 'pointy' buildings, or is it the effect of the stitching, or a mix?

Composition is perhaps a bit chaotic, but the light is beautiful and well captured. Great detail too.

Steve, the vertical pixel size is a bit of a personal choice: on what screens do you want your photo to fit? The smallest resolution nowadays is 1024x768. Taking away the menus etc. that leaves you with only app. 600 vertical pixels. Personally I think most photonet viewers have (or should have) bigger screens: a 20" with 1680x1050 resolution gives 800 vertical pixels, which is what I choose as maximum.

Lovely winter scene. Good exposure & detail & composition. I would have preferred a bigger version though, to enjoy it even more. I think that in landscape photography size does matter. Must have been great being there.

A beauty indeed. But the background & border are way too busy and don't enhance the mood. If that is -what I suspect- PS work I would redo that.

Stunning!

Nice colors & composition. The sky however suffers from some artefacts: some unnatural colors in some places and a straight line to the right of the leftmost mountain and near the upper edge.

Just as I suspected: the color version is much better. You might consider cropping a bit on the bottom and left to get more focus on the truck and make the composition a bit more interesting.

I would like to see the original color version (I presume this is a conversion). As it is, the dynamic range is rather limited - it's missing dark tones. These abandoned cars often have nice textures of rusty parts, but that doesn't come across in this photo.
