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.

This is the town of Tooleybuc, a fantastic place on the NSW side of the Murray River. You can see the bridge we drove across to get out of Mexico on a recent driving holiday through country Victoria.

This panoramic scene is from 12 images using GND Filters. I processed the RAW files into HDR ( -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 ) from a single RAW file. Stitched each exposure in Panoramic Factory, then blended the 5 HDR images in TuFuse Pro.

Thx Rob,

The current size stitched is already 101.3cm x 38.6cm. So it would be easy to double the size to 200cm x 80cm.

Nice work Warwick, great shot! It would look great in a big print, for sure.

That pano doesn't look like a pano and that is the very best compliment that I can give you. Well done :D

Thank you for all the feedback, it's very much appreciated.

Creating panoramics is time consuming, creating HDR panoramics is even worse.
This is my 2nd major attempt at a HDR panorama, I'm learning new techniques all the time as I go along.

Here is a larger version if anyone is interested. 600px high / 330KB in size.
