Very nice set. The croton #1 is perfect. For the other 2, I think the bottom layer is very dark so it's a bit harsh compared to the rest of the frame. I'd try bringing the shadows up a bit in PP.


Appreciate that zuru, when I work on the prints I'll try that and see if I prefer it lighter on bottom.

I just processed another pano from a bit later in the evening compared to photo #1, with a little warmer color and more cloud above which gives the image some more breathing room. To those who previously commented (@pbraymond, @DivineFocus, @dbehrens, @Jim Dockery, @bobek13, @junglialoh, @akapplerphotos, @dakel, @kmunroe, @zuru, @J. Pow) if you have a moment to look I'd value your feedback on this one vs. the first pano in the initial post, I'm not sure yet which one to print. Thank you!

Wishing all of you a peaceful holiday tomorrow,
Ross

for me the #1 is better, the difference that sets them apart, the #2 in opinion has a bit too much purple tint, and I like the suns position being off center in #1 image better.

But without doubt the #2 image is no sloutch either.

I prefer this version. IMO the composition is stronger with the nearest mountain off center. Also the sun rays being broken up a little more makes them look more dramatic. I don't find the colors that much different but again due to being more interspersed with the blue shadow the warm color really pops. This is really an excellent image. Nice job.

Lovely set, with the first one being my favorite.
The layered mountains always look good and the light rays and colors add to that.

Beautiful capture of light and the layers of mountains. Color on the third one is also quite beautiful. Great captures and PP work.

Those are really good, I particularly love the first.

I've never been to Blue Ridge Mountains and previous photos I had seen were not enticing me too much...but with these ones and another recent set they've suddenly shot up on the list of places to see...

Somehow I missed this thread. The second and third images are striking. If I had to choose, I would go with the colour.
