Hi Ian , great looking scene. maybe the quality for web saving but it looks a little noisy in clouds and slightly soft. Also a little dust bunny on the LHS. Not sure if you use detail extractor filter in Colour EFX but maybe a little less ?

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Ian,
Surprisingly does look a touch noisy on the sky but an easy tweak. I have debated the URC blue......and feel the image would be stronger overall without it and more pano crop. You could also consider coming off the bottom....eliminating the buildings but I know many people don't like very tight pano's......so just something to consider as well. Great mood to this and nice to see the bit of snow as well!

[Ian Cassell]

GRRRRR! I can't believe I missed that dust spot!

Thanks for the comments, folks. Here's a tighter crop, Roman. I think it loses something without that blue in the URC, but what do you think?

[Roman Kurywczak]

I do like it better.....just patch away some of the snow covered roof's and you have a winner IMO.

[Morkel Erasmus]

a nice scene Ian
I like the repost, but it still looks slightly OOF to me? Not the crisp detail I would expect, more a fuzziness? :e3

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks for comments and advice everyone. I printed the crop version yesterday on 13 x 19 after getting rid of those snow covered structures in the FG (and the dust spots). This was an early test of my new Epson 3880. It came out beautifully (and seems sharp to me anyway, Morkel).

Hi Ian, I like the crop from the top in the RP, but I think you loose a lot of feeling of depth/perspective from the image by the crop from the bottom.

[Steve Canuel]

I like the painterly look of the image. Both versions work for me but would rather loose the buildings than the blue sky. The sky provides the visual opening for the lighted areas for me.
