Cool, crazy, shot! The distortion and the beautiful rays of light breaking through the clouds combine qith the almost straight horizon line add up to create a very memorable image. Excellent job!
Best Regards,
Enrique

Hi Muhammad,

Technically perfect the stitch, and very good idea because the image is really impressive! The cloudy sky, the sun beams amazing, specially the light over the salt lake, and then the road in the shadow. I like the composition: dark foreground, luminous background an impressive clouds! Thanks.

Greetings,
Angel.

Hola Mohammad, six photos, quite an interesting photo with an special treatment of light here. I also like the distortion of the lens, it gives a surreal tone. Thanks for share.

Bonjour Mohammad,
des lumières très particulières, certainement pas les plus faciles à capturer.
Je salue l'audace d'une prise difficile.
Un magnifique ciel plein de charme.
Et la note bien instructive.

Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Mohammad

I like the slight curvature of the horizon from the fish eye lens. The repetitive diagonal beams of sunlight are superb. Excellent tonal range & graphism in the sky. Tfs!

Hello Mohammad,

I'm very glad you see again.
A nice stitching work with the six photo, also very well contrast between the dark foreground with the way and the lovely cloudy sky.
Splendid composition too with the salt lakes.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Mohammad,

First, I see that Rayan is growing in good health. I like his smile.
Second, great panorama, amazing sky. I like the sun rays between the clouds and this "dramatic" atmosphere. Nice light over the lake.

Well done
Leonor

john_c (24635) 2007-08-31 9:32

Good morning Mohammad,
All the elements of a painting are here. I love the darkened foreground with the odd vehicle visible, the fanning of the sun's muted rays over the landscape, the slice of silver glistening salt lake, and of course the bucolic, romantic sky. A great stitch job and fine work. Peace and amity, my friend.
John

Hi Mohammad,

I love the rays of light from the beautiful sky.
I was going to suggest you brighten the ground but I think that would destroy it. I love the distortion curve .. wonderful.

take care,

John

Hi Mohammad, you look more young on your profile photo !
This panorama is very interesting, visually to follow the slight curve of the road is good, the light out of the clouds is falling on all the visit.
A Nice wild contry photo.

Mohammad, c'est un ciel extraordinaire avec le soleil qui traverse les nuages de ses rayons. C'est aussi un lac qui, telle une lame d'argent reflète la lumière du ciel. La réalisation avec les stitch est parfaite.

Hi dear friend,
In a one word, this is wonderful photo. Sky view, clouds shape, deepness, sun rays on the Lake and composition are superb.

Bonsoir, mon bon ami Mohammad,
Vous avez le talent de nous entraîner dans des contrées lointaines. Ici, nous avons l'impression de rêver tant, la beauté du paysage est extraordinaire.
L'effet panoramique donne de la force à cette très belle composition.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Mohammad,
Great work with this stitch of six pictures. I like the perspective distortion in both the horizon and the road. The dark road gives the picture a sinister atmosphere.

Belle photo de cet endroit sombre ou l' on devine une autoroute et l' eau a l' horizon.les rais du soleil presque tout le long de la photo est du plus bel effet. Amitiés Thomas
je reviens

Hello Eli
I am glad I opened this one ( Because I know you don't send any picture ) You cannot judge of the beauty when small. The light makes it a great image, and you can judge of this beauty only when full open: I am referring particularly to the white line of light on the left. Very impressive shot.

Warm regards - Izzet

maphoto (8076) 2007-09-17 15:44

Nice perspective Mohammad, nice collage of your six photos, almost like a fisheye view. Interesting to see the light through the clouds, well balanced, good work !

fatima (0) 2008-01-07 11:43

A very good picture! I like the sky.

kiks (6149) 2008-01-13 12:55

Fantastique view! Wonderful how the sunrays go into the lake. It makes me feel so tinny.
How can you take 6 photos, stich it and stil get the sunrays right?! I would expect that the lines doe not go right because of the movement of the clouds between the moment of teking the diferent 6 photos! Can you explain me?
