This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Very cool, I'd have personally preferred it without the polarizer. But the fact the deepest blue is above the summit, is cool but I'd prefer sky with less variation.

Thanks folks!
surenj, if you click on the picture you will get the large one.
Robert, it's all handheld. :) New PTGui is doing amazing stuff when stitching.
robw25, No. To achieve better result you must not touch polarizer when you're shooting panorama. Tune it for maximum effect and leave it as is. Then when shooting turn camera for a small angle. The smaller camera turning angle you have the easier to stitch. Sure you will get more shots but the result will be better.
