Another World Pano

Hope you're not sick of these yet. I'm doing a ton of processing and printing for upcoming shows, which is actually something I really enjoy. Anyway, in the process I worked on this image. I liked the colors so much in print that I'm re-processing the whole series.

This was the first frame I took this morning.

I think this is my favorite of the bunch!
I love the aspect.
I bet this would look amazing on Cranes Museo Silver Rag.
By the way, what is your stock of choice ?

Dark and moody. Nice compositions and textures in the foreground.

Matt, I was able to finally get an epson 7900 this year so I've been doing a ton of printing on just about every paper I've always wanted to try. I've finally settled on Ilford Gold Fiber Silk as my favorite, I liked all the Baryta papers though. The dmax and color range from these papers is better than anything I'd ever seen, and paired with the 7900 the prints look amazing.

I'm certainly not sick of shots like this Zack, I could look at these all day.

Cheers, Gary.

Avishek, yes, the previous images were too blue IMO. I was never happy with the print until I reworked this one.

I like the pinkish color that I don't recall from the others. The snowy mountain peak is somewhat distracting to me, but otherwise I do like the pano aspect.

This panoramic crop is very interesting. It's a very well balanced image. I just love the gradient from light to dark along the edge of the mountain on the left in both the reflection and sky. Killer shot.

Glowingly beautiful. I love the surreal underwater formations and cool blue processing.

Beautiful expansive view. I like the semi pano for the emphasis on the horizon.

Hey Zack, this one looks real nice too. I am glad I don't have to decide which one to sell, that would be tough! :smile:

Dude!!! If this is what I saw on my preview screen after the first click, I might just put the camera away and go back to sleep. I like the wider/pano view a lot. Also the pinks on the horizon really add a nice extra bonus to this amazing shot.

Gorgeous Zack,

I think I prefer this semi-pano rendition more than your previous postings from here. There's just something about the expansive view and perspective that are showcased well with the wide presentation. Great work, no nits here.

Excellent. The underwater pattern is like a net that holds my attention and won't let go.

A very striking image, Zach. I can fully understand why you enjoyed working on it. The patterns under the water are quite somethign and with the light that you have here they take on a whole new dimension. I also like how the snow covered peaks on the right contrast the dark mass on the left.

Hold on a moment while i wipe up the vomit.....ok :wink:

A very strong image, Zack. I love the graphical qualities in particular, so as much as it would pain me, i think i might crop the snow capped peaks to further simplify things. Either way, its a killer shot! :toast:

Despite the clear sky, there's a real sense of anticipation that grows out of viewing this image. You can feel the stillness.
