Oct. 2, 2015, The rain had mostly dissipated and the sun still was illuminating the North Slopes of Cirque Mountain. Mt. Sneffels is still partially obscured by rain. One of my favorite locations in the San Juan Mountains at the far southern end of County Rd. 5 near Ridgway, CO, never fails to yield a glorious view. The eastern part of Ralph Lauren's Double RL Ranch sits in the valley immediately below where this photo was shot.
This original uncropped version of this HDR panorama consists of 210 individual 22.5 megapixel images shot with Canon 5Diii at f-11, .3, 1/13th & 1.3 second and ISO 100 using a 70-200mm lens @ 100mm. The uncropped image is:
748 Megapixels
9117 x 27351 pixels
31" x 91" 300 ppi

Sorry it doesn't do anything for me...........I think the location is nice and would make a nice picture if it was either raining or sunny but not both, also there is nothing in the picture that makes my eyes want to stay in an particular spot. I find my eyes wandering looking for something but they cant find anything

John,
The tiny little picture presented here does not do justice to your work. Based on this display I would tend to agree with Neil Williams. But the spectacle presented at the link you provided tells a whole different story. I don't think magnificent is too strong a word for the spectacle awaiting anyone who takes the time to look at the whole story. I too found my eyes wandering, but not from trying to find a place te rest, rather from trying to see it all before it slid away. Lovely work. Well done.

Don, thanks for your comments. Yes, it is hard to tell the whole story with a 1200 pixel wide reduction. In fact, Neil's comment isn't uncommon because so much is lost in the reduction. These images are intended to be viewed large. Missed in this kind of reduction is the fact that if you zoom in with the Panotour you will notice the fallen leaves of the Aspens on the ground below. In some of my Gigaramas (as I have coined these images) I have discovered herds of elk that I didn't know were there when I shot the image.
