Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Somehow I'm quite hooked to building up very large panoramas for no reason. I'm not quite a pixel peeking person but I like the way they are done and the amount of details from it.

This time another over hundred megapixels image. A 130 Mega-pixels image is created through combination of 62 x 4MP overlapping images. Spent approximately 5 hours doing this stitch and correcting the little bugs in between. Most of the time spent was waiting for my computer to respond. With 1GB RAM is not anywhere near to process this shot. Took me overloaded 1GB and plus 1.5GB swap space to do most works in PS.

Here it is, a <5% view of the actual 'finish'...

Im off to sleep for now, will post those 100% crop if anyone want to have a peek. :P

C&C needed!

What a kick ass panorama... The only gripe I would have is the dark fore ground but somehow it seems to add depth to the image...

Did you manually stitch?

Print and sell !!!!

The foreground does have plenty of details as I see on my screen, tho the dominant colours/part is still the city itself as I want it to be.

I would love to sell it, but printing this will be a PITA which goes 60inches wide on 300dpi... lol

No, I used the freebie called AutoStitch, its very slow, but does what I need. And ofcourse, being part of cheap man not buying a phase-one back and a MF camera or those Zeitz 120MP freebie is always good. :lol:

I wouldn't mind if I get a regular pay of PP work for all those hours 8)

Great stuff Yi-P - the detail and work is awesome. My only question is: is it me or does it seem to have a slight lean to the right?
