Sunset over the Mekong River - Luang Prabang, Laos
« on: December 03, 2014, 09:13:48 pm »

Sunset over the Mekong River at Luang Prabang, the ancient capital of Laos.

Stitched panorama, using Sony A7r and Canon 70-200.

Very nice. I like the graphic rendering.

It looks a little "crisp" on my monitor. Otherwise the composition and tonal values are very nice.

A good scene for a pano, the almost monotone depiction with all those reds and oranges combined with a few dim lights in the village looks wonderful,  Regards, Sander

A beautiful panorama with rich colors and the silhouette landscape with the sun is perfect.

Probably due to the output sharpening and an accidentally-duplicated curves layer, which I've now fixed.

Looking at the given resolution, the river seems really rough and lacking of detail. Something I would probably have liked with a longer exposure to smooth it out. But, I could also guess that the river may look MUCH better at full resolution and in print than this downsized jpeg. Other than that, excellent framing and I love the tones.

There's plenty of detail at full resolution. Also, it would have taken many seconds of exposure to smooth out the river at this distance, which would mean that the sun would no longer appear round, but as a short, wide streak.

Very true. I guess it would be a question of principles on whether combining two exposures (one for the river and one for the sky) in post is ethical or not, or in your personal interest. Which is really not a topic for this thread.
