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.

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.

Panos from the Mountain

Still waiting for sunrise so I tried a couple of panos from the top of Wild Horse Mountain.

Both are 10 shot (portrait) stitched.

Mark,

great details in those panos. Not sure if the sunrise was worth the wait, but the pre-sunrise certainly was worth the drive there.

What lens were you using for the doing the pano?

cheers,

André

Beautiful images. The light is fantastic and the fog adds a new dimension.

You are putting that lens to a very good use.

They are both great. The full size definitely does it justice. So much detail in the trees in the first etc. Love the colours.

I think the first is better ... (the colours are fantastic).

Great work Mark. I prefer the 2nd one here, the colour contrast is beautiful. An unusual lens for landscape work but you've done a terrific job with it. Print these for sure!
