I could look at that first one - Red House Sawmill - all day! such great light and shadow.
Thanks! Would you look at it differently if I told you those are porcupine turds all over the floor? :crap: :lol:

Matt & Cbobcat, great stuff.

Matt, the colors in the pannos are vibrant. If you forced me to choose, my favorites might be the badlands sunrise and the girl in the green field. You had a busy year traveling. Cbobcat the last one and first one, how different. I like the feel of the last one. Also like the waterfall. It is like cliff, a sheer drop off. Nice collection.

Matt, your colors are phenomenal!
I particularly love the composition and tone of the "Great Sand Dunes NP" panoramic.

Chris, your shots are stellar. You should post more photos throughout the year. I'm trying to decide a favorite form the first 3, which I love. I'm going to go with the first Stony brook shot. I was there in the fall and shot for a full day from every vantage I could get to, and yet I didn't capture such a scene with a good dynamic of light and dark, wet and dry. It's a fantastic "It's like I'm there" composition.

Great photos Matt and Chris!

Matt, I really enjoy your St. Maarten pano, mostly because I have been to that same spot and it speaks to me However that was in my day of disposable cameras and as one could imagine...I didn't bring home an image like that to cherish for years.

Chris I really like your New River Gorge pano....love how you captured the railroad trestle spanning the gorge and the curve.

With not being able to get out and photograph much this past year it wasn't extremely hard to choose 10, and my "oh, and I forgot, one more". Not all are my best work but I'm working on being more willing to share my photos. I know I'm not as technically proficient as most here, but I thought I would post anyway in hopes of any tips on how to improve.
