Challenge: Free Study 2009-11 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D700

Aperture: f/10
ISO: 400
Shutter: 30 sec x 4 pics
Galleries: Sky, Panoramic
Date Uploaded: Nov 30, 2009

 I took 8 shots during this group, but was only able to use 4 due to the long (30 sec) interval of each shot and the clouds not wanting to stay put. I got a bunch of great pics this week, but none of them really lived up to my expectations of this particular challenge.

I'm sorry for assuming this was a 'crazy crop', I'm pretty sure that panoramic images from multiple captures are outside the rules:

You may not combine captures of different scenes, move or change a feature between frames, or combine different captures to create a new scene

So because of that I had assumed this was a crop.

I was one of your 2s, but I did leave a comment. I still think this is a crazy aspect ratio to submit when the maximum dimension is just 800px though.

I'm not going to ask for this to be validated, but you might want to flag it to the SC for your own peace of mind.

I don't think that comments are seen during voting and maybe they should. Everyone talked about the crop of this photo, but it wasn't really a crop at all. It was a pano that didn't live up to the full potential due to changes in the clouds. Thanks for the comments to those who commented. I do hope that in the future DPC implements some rule that forces anyone giving 4 or less to leave a comment. At least 3 or less. that would have given me 45 comments at minimum to understand those points of view.

Crazy crop. I'm afraid there isn't a lot that is working for me with this image.

You've done a nice job capturing the flowing lines of the clouds and the tree line. Maybe a little dark, but that's personal taste.

i would have liked to see more sky or more trees.

Not a bad start! It's a little strange just seeing the tops of the trees (it's like just seeing the tops of people's heads) so perhaps get the entire tree, or ditch them altogether. Nice idea though.

way to small and long to be able to see what is really in this picture.

A nice panoramic feel, but I miss alot of the sky which you could've added and still have the panorama feel.
