I think some may not agree with me on this image but this is wonderous. It is so massive yet so perfect, I adore symmetry and reflections plus the colours are lovely, I am fond of vignetting as well.... Very well done lovely crispness and sharpness yet so smooth in its tonal range...... Very jealous....

Brief

In this contest, we would like to see Sunsets or Sunrises but Panoramas Only. Panoramas can be wondorous but difficult to do right and this theme narrows it down to a specific time of day. But this can create a beautiful image... The beauty of light and scene will be the key. Rural, Urban, Seascape all are welcome........

So very close to being in the Top 10 but there were so many awesome images but this image deserves comment, a lovely image so much mood and beauty, lovely composition with a gorgeous autumnal quality to it, brilliant inclusion of the birds, but very well done and best of luck in the next contest..........

The sunrise/sunset are not as obvious as some of the other images but the reflections and unusual content in the image made this for me. The composition is clever but without the gate and tress, this would just be another reflected mountain range. The clever use of the reflection being deeper than the reality is something I do like...... I think the non-slow exposure version of this would also be brilliant......

I will admit I am not a fan of boats but I am one of reflections and the composition of this image is very well considered.... The colours are lovely and the clear stretch of yellow in the waters gap is brilliant. Nice close cropping filling the image with detail and I am fond of the slight gloom that loses the details of the boats and that you have not tried to reduce the shadows, well done.....

I have to have a few urban images in the top 10 in this contest as that's what I love and this combines what I wanted and what I love beautifully..... Adorable reflections and clarity... Beautiful fading into the oranges from the greys and a particularly good skyline. Very well done am very jealous.......

This stood out to me from the start, a gorgeous image, the cropping is a little tight but the tones and softness did it for me. Thanks for the description and this oozes autumn to me could be a sunrise or sunset, lovely, well done.......

So very close to being in the Top 10 but there were so many awesome images but this image deserves comment, a lovely image with gorgeous smoothness and tones, wonderful composition and leading lines, very well done and best of luck in the next contest..........

Beautifully considered image, the curve in the clouds, the straight horizon with the waves in symmetry, the lines in the sand and all the leading lines drawing us down the beach but the focal point is still the sun smack in the centre..... A Pano done from the side - very well done....

What can I say - WOW. Gorgeous tones in a beautiful scene. I love the clouds, a world of reds and ornges and yellows, the reflections the composition is genius with the focal points and the leading lines. wonderful positioning with the uprights on the left. The bench even looks inviting. I must say brilliant and very well done.......

This is gorgeous and has so much to offer brilliant reflections and clouds. The image is almost cut into halves top and bottom and left and right telling a different story. Lovely scenery and clever thought out composition. I do love the small sunset being a little part of the whole scene and the ominous clouds rolling into the calm serene left-hand scene. Even the depth of the image adds something with the distance being very far yet there is some close-up details in the foreground, very well done....

So so nice, gorgeous and clever. The composition is genius almost minimal, lovely framing on both sides adding to the depth and sheer scale of the whole thing. Tones and colours are wonderous and the image is so clear and crisp...... So much detail and the whole image draws you into itself with a fortutous cloud formation in the centre making this real class, well done.....
