Never intended to be a pano, and the full size image shows the various distortions etc that one would expect from trying to shoot a pano at 14 mm.

That having been said, in the original, the trees and other detail in the far distance, just in front of the hills, are plainly visible.

Nice, Riley.

I like the composition of form and colour.

Quite the nice panoramic shot, does well in portraying a wide open expanse.

Nice colour, composition, and content.

A great image for the season.  Nice composition and conversion.

Andrew

Nicely composed.  Very nice how the trees seem to fit into one another like a jigsaw puzzle.

Love it, RB.

A very creative and interesting shot, IMHO.
Well done. The "rivers" running through the "landscape" are wonderful.

I had a look at your full size image. I like the composition of both line and colour very much with the sky, mountain, hills and fields across the foreground. Can't help but wonder if there is some atmospheric effect (ice crystals, or something?) or slight motion blur in the image at full size though.

I am seeing plenty of the latter with trying to learn to hold my "new" EC-14 steady on the back of my 50~200 at full stretch! Eventually my new Benro monopod and Manfrotto 322RC2 grip ball head should help, but that takes some getting used to as well! I have never been one for tripods, and this is the first monopod I have ever owned in my life - I have used them before, but rarely. Of course I own a tripod (the latest of a few), but hate carrying them around; setting up; etc.

One thing to use them with my telescopes, another altogether to use them with my cameras!

So thought I would compromise with a good monopod and a very good grip ball head. They seem to be helping ...

Thanks for sharing. We don't have any "real" mountains left in Oz. They mostly wore down to a fairly flat plain by around 1,200 MYA ...

I like it ... The myriad small boats loitering around in the image - 9, I think - makes for eye candy, while the form, placement, proportions and shading of the majestic rocks form a background that strengthens what, to my eye, is an interesting scene.

Thanks for sharing an enjoyable photo.
