Perfect camera point and perspective, a very successful wide angle shot ! Congrats on the SC for the ?Vita da Cani? (excellent, too) - but this is my favourite of your last work. Artistic work with the tricky wide angle. High quality B&W.
Ciao

An unusual, very original firework shot. I like the jagged appearance of the blue lines, like Faraday?s experiments with high voltage. Superb !

Great backlit scenery, with clever PS work on contrast and tones. Has indeed a futuristic feeling - nice that no humans are visible, in this context.
Cheers

An elegant composition. Perhaps a tad more space for the branch @the top, to "breathe". Anyway, great shot - the DOF is perfect, exposition, colors, and contrast are spot-on. Love it !

Really hard to say, I like both versions ! Maybe a tendency for the color (my personal taste, of course. But color separetes the stylistic elements here better than B&W)

Thank you for stopping by ! Shane, I have tried Panotools about three times (try/distress/ uninstall x3). Powerful, but the opposite of user friendly. The only reason why PTGui sells ;-)

A typical Spracklen ;-) Splendid colors, tack sharp, perfect crop and composition. And the sky, let me guess, has matched lighting and color temperature, but is implanted (?) One can never be sure...

Hey this is great, the sky and land echo, a rare success in landscapes. Obviously not by chance, as your title indicates. Lovely tones and colors, alltogether an excellent landscape, hats off !

Very beautiful motif, the lighting is great. I would definitively crop something from the bottom, because there is nothing that adds much interest to the shot, and a more panoramic format would be nice

Very beautiful natural looking colors. Brightness of the foliage feels a little bit increased, did you apply some dodging ?

Very nice lead-in, and the contrast gradient from the misty atmosphere adds a lot of depth. Very good B&W landscape

A phenomenal sunrise scenery, worth the fatigue ;-) The centered horizon is ok here, it?s kind of symmetry because of the reflections. My only wish is a bit more space for the mountain on the right to "breathe"

I am quite sure you didn?t dodge the gulls shadows deliberately. First I voted for Gayle?s version, but then your shot grew on me. Kind of mysterious feeling, more interesting, the dodged version looks more common. BTW, not really 28 mm eh ?

Well seen, good use of motion blur, well composed/ cropped. I thought about a B&W, but the strong yellow is an extra nice stylistic element, IMO.
This zoom range is perfectly suitable for this kind of shot. My 10-22 lens is mounted all the time...

Roger, nice to hear that PTGui 5.1 works with circular fisheye shots too (I use that version for my 10-22 mm lens shots actually, you know). PTGui is probably the most powerful and, now, user friendly program, IMO. I tried your link - excellent VR ! Needs some time to load, but then... superb quality, only the sky should have been darker/ overcast for more to see in the upper part.
Cheers
Carsten
