Excellent Ian. Putting me in the mood for our short camping break in 9 days time.

The first is, for me, the best. Since it has a foreground, it provides a deeper image that more resembles what the eye would actually see standing in that spot. The other two simply aren't doing that much for me because they don't have as much visual depth and that, to my eye, doesn't do them any favors.

In general, though, I have been a big fan of your panoramas even though these three don't constitute your best work, in my opinion. I do like that all three look very realistic. If these have any HDR work done of them, I can't tell -- and that's a great progression. SO, even though I'm not a huge fan of these visually (compositionally), I think they are all technically superb.

All are very good. Nice composition and great light. And for me it's a really interesting landscape, totally different than what I'm used to seeing here.

My favourite is #3, I think it's just perfect. In #1 I find the road a bit distracting, it doesn't do much for the composition and it looks a little overprocessed. #2 I think opens a bit too much to the right and the narrow strip of land at the bottom is a little too close to the edge for comfort. Maybe a slightly different crop could also work.

Thanks guys. I find these ones a bit boring, I thought the dramatic lighting (late in the day approaching sunset) would add interest.

They are HDR, 5 exposures per frame.
