I am always fascinated by a view of tall buildings from above because the parallel lines of their sides converge downwards. |

This is a fascinating subject. I have always felt that one objective of these DD groups is to share our travel experiences, as well as discuss how we view our destinations and photograph them. Thanks for taking me to a place I have never visited.
I also very much like the jumble of antlers in your closeup finished image. I am very fond of jumble photographs myself, and often shoot them. |

Your patience with such a long time-frame project is inspiring. Your result is impressive. I will take you as an example when I consider long-term projects in the future. |

Very interesting shot.
Yes, the back right square should be white.
Also, unless something strange is afoot, white's first move is weak, neglecting the center. |

In a situation like this, I suggest using both flash and natural light. Flash for the woman nearby within flash range, and natural light for the cityscape, out of flash range. I believe this is called "flash fill." |

Yes, well done. Especially the detail in the snow and your choice of cropping. |

The execution is fine. The sky in the inset is good, and the treatment of the larger image is effective.
You have reversed the conventional use of an inset to give more detail, and here your inset gives the bigger picture. This so unconventional, and original I might add, that it is a bit hard to relate to.
I am not sure I want to recommend sticking to convention, but you might consider reversing the two pictures to follow the convention.
Also, I think the entire bell tower on the left might be another good choice for the detail. |

The sky is fine, the junk is fine, and the viewpoint of the building is good. But I do not find the building at all uninteresting. I think the architecture is notable, very clean lines and very functional.
I decided to search for more information about your silver mine building. I found that it was in Burke, Idaho, not far from Spokane. Here is an article about it, and it has an area photo showing your building.

That one lifted stalking paw makes the entire picture. So interesting that such a small touch has such impact. |

You had a very good eye for the angles in the architecture. Looks like it was a cloudy day, so too bad that there were no shadows to further emphasize the angles.
We also made a tour there, quite some time ago, and it was a wonderful photo shoot day for me, with all the hulking buildings, obviously empty. |

Remarkably good use of the wide-angle lens.
You softened the very bright areas in your finished image, but I rather like the bright areas in the original. |

You have done something very unique with this image. Usually such a view would not include such a large expanse of sky. I think this was a rule to be broken by you, because it injects an emotional element of hope into the image, much as you said you are happy to see this town thriving now. |

Wonderful shot. Is that Kowloon in the foreground? |

Like your colleagues say, this is a great image.
I find it interesting that you altered the perspective to make the vertical lines parallel. Shooting from above, that meant your original would have converged downwards. I think that would have been fun to see, as I am a perspective wonk. Would you care to show us the original? |

Just fantastic. One of the best street scenes I have ever seen. Please enter in some really prestige contests. You have a real chance of getting an honor. |

It's a nice result, especially as your colleague remarked about the trees on each end holding the image in.
But technically, please tell us how many images were stitched together, and how many degrees the panorama took in. Thanks. |

I like very much your almost surreal finished image, with its blue tones, moon, and strange lighting. It is no longer a soaring grain elevator, as shown in your original shot. It is now quite squat due to the perspective modification. You have traveled very far and successfully from the original scene. |

I don't have anything to add about the image. I love it.
But I want to comment about Naxos. We stopped there a few years back and absolutely loved it. I hope you ate their potatoes, reputed to be the best in Greece, and maybe beyond. We lunched on fries drizzled with olive oil and oregano. Never had the equal anywhere else. |

This is nicely done. I like quiet interior shots with history.
Since you shot only one side of the room, perhaps you did not have a wide enough lens to take it all in. One of my favorite games to play is to reflect an interior image to simulate a larger space. I did not get it exactly right, but you get the idea. |

Well done with the wide angle lens. Everything came out well, despite the variable lighting.
But what is the subject of the statue? It's your main subject. |
