Gigapixel is by Topaz and has been well received amongst my photo friends here in South Florida. Does very well with cropped mobile phone images as well. |

Grand landscape with dominating mountain caught in all its glory; well exposed bathed in a pleasing warm color palette with lots of detail in the shadows and highlights, lots of texture, patterns, contrast of tones and colors, depth and supportive non-intrusive foreground.
Well seen and processed. One could consider a sky replacement, but I like it just as is. |

Contre-Jour - shooting into the light so that your subject in backlit. Success is understanding how to meter strong contrast, the difference between the highlights and shadows. Contre-Jour is not the same as full silhouettes in that you want to record the foreground information with some degree of detail. It's all about the light, contrast and shadowplay.

Well worth the extreme efforts of time and comfort to obtain San! Love the color palette, the contre-jour, and the emergence of elements the longer you look. I keep getting drawn by the two lights on the right horizon and what appear to be people on the point by the house; perhaps consider cloning those distractions out.
Love the mood and atmosphere, the esotheric light. |

Your concept and execution of this scene full to overflowing with diminishing perspective, leading lines, eye control elements, patterns, repetition, structural tonal contrasts. The added value and anchor is the tourist to provide scale.
In an attempt to adjust the distortion of the foreground step elements and help straighten it some I tweeked it in Luminar AI. This ended up recropping it some but perhaps simplified it as well. I also added Urban filter/Old Town which pushed up the warmth & contrast a bit.
This would make a great puzzle for someone to work on! |

The hook for me is the rim lighting of the pines on the right, which placed on a power point anchor the falls. Two second exposure renders a dreamy waterfall perfectly, and it too is placed on a power line. The B&W conversion is well done with good range of tones and detail in the shadows. The kiss of color at the bottoms provides a nice base to the image with its wash of wonderful backlight. Well seen & processed. |

Another of your famous winter landscapes taken with your pulled down hat, turned up collar, and boots that squeak on the crunchy chill snow. I feel like I'm there with you on that spot. Nice eye control elements leading me to the sunrise; sunrays, lines, shapes have a nice rhythm and movement creating depth. Range of tones emphasizes both the warm tones of the sun and the cool tones of the foreground snow scene. Wonderful mood and atmosphere. Like your choice of pano. |

Talk about peak moment of impact! Right place, right time, and you were patient and ready! Well seen, captured, and processed.
As the sailboat is centered on the tanker which is centered in the composition, IMHO I suggest considering cropping off the left, perhaps where the seagull is, and cropping down the sky to keep focus on the emerging city elements. I think that will make a stronger impact and make it pop.
Then run it through Gigapixel to retain image quality.
Wonderful ethereal atmosphere and mood. Love it.

Flowers do appear a bit hot to me. I'm starting to use CLiR and so I took original into PS and used ClIR plug-in by Tonee Gee. Set WB and picked an channel swap I liked, added auto contrast, Highlight recovery, and a bit of rich color adjustment. I never did see the lavendar petal tones in CLiR. Returned to LR where I cropped and added vignette. |
