Beautiful scene hougaard, great marbley sky and subtle tones. It's nice to see this from you

Gorgeous capture here. I really like the darker surroundings together with the intens sky, it brings a good contrast and helps bring more focus and interest to the scene itself I think.
Nice one!

So calm and peaceful - not only does the sky look beautiful, but the dark peak is such a nice contrast.

It's a well done stitch ,I wouldn't think it would be a panorama ,and your watermark is fine it's quite subtle but not so subtle that it becomes ineffective ,I've seen alot worse on DA .

Very impressive Hougaard except there is something very strange happening in the cetre of the sky a light coloured circle thing and another light patch underneath that, possibly where the stitch occurred. Any idea what this is?

Hello there!
Did you use any filters to get the sky and ground so evenly lighted? Or is this HDR?
Thanks in advance!

manually blended hdr...

most likely HDR -- panorama's usually are. But i could be wrong.

Doesn't look like and HDR to me? Hougaard would have specified if that was the case.

mmm very true, maybe a neutral density filter.. otherwise a polarization filter.. that would just be my guess. Otherwise the scene looked perfectly like that and he captured it so

more probably a manual exposure blend.
