wwwarjag, I still remember that conversation myself. Time flies – you look at photos in a new way.

Overall, a well-done job.
The bottom is absolutely wonderful.
The sky, however, could have been clearer: the texture is a bit uneven.
Dmitry Apalikov has similar works, and the sky is really well done there.

Wow, what power!!!! Damn, I'm late with the recommendation – it's definitely a day's work. No compliments

Irinny, Yakov Trembovolsky, Shevtsoff, Stargazer, Kerim, KAP, Kovalenkov, Alexander Subbotin, thank you!

Great work overall.
The bottom is absolutely wonderful.
The sky could have been more clearly processed: the texture is a bit blurred.
Dmitry Apalikov has similar works, and the sky there is excellently done.
Yakov Trembovolsky, You're spot on; the sky has practically no processing. I looked at Dmitry Apalikov's sky in bad weather – it's stunning! Very interesting HDR. I'll definitely experiment with it. Thank you very much for helping me master photography and for the valuable advice.

Alex Ugalek, Mitrich, thank you!

Wide! I liked it. What... hmm... well, because it's processed in a way that's unusual for you. ))
Mitrich, Dima! What's unusual is that it's not processed at all?

Here, the only thing I did was add a tiny bit of sharpness to the PP using Victoria Ivanova's method after resizing, to compensate for its blurring effect. And that's it – no other interventions in the frame. I didn't even make any adjustments to the RAW.

lo_ol, )) I'm making such works with Fuji now - simply Autumn... Views.. only RAV-conversion-resize-sharpness. ))) That's what the family said, well, some simple photos... ))) Give me WAX... so that it would be surreal... . Well, I like them, besides, I wouldn't say that I got better results with RAV than the camera JPEG... So I'm thinking later I'll post about 10 of them... just JPEGs without processing... views of the surrounding area. I just haven't figured out the panoramas... Each frame seems normal - but when you stitch them together... it turns out some kind of mess.. I can't understand what's going on..

Also, I wouldn't say I got better results with RAW than the camera's JPEG... So I'm thinking of posting about 10 more later... just JPEGs without processing... views of the surrounding area. I just haven't figured out the panoramas... Each frame seems fine, but when you stitch them together... it turns into a mess. I can't figure out what's going on.
Mitrich, Dima, that's what a camera needs brains for, to make beautiful JPEGs from RAWs. They (JPEGs) are often good, but not always, especially in difficult lighting conditions and when you need a lot of dynamic range. The amount of information in the highlights and shadows is reduced by an order of magnitude and then by another half, and the 8-bit color oversaturated by the JPEG isn't always good.
The panoramas are strange. My default AutoPano software does everything perfectly, except occasionally adjusting color, gamma, and exposure. And even then, I haven't been doing that in the program lately – I adjust exposure as I go.
You should definitely attend Maxim Veiza and Dmitry Pozharsky's seminar; they'll teach you everything there and even a little more. And I need to do it again!

Thank you! I'm already in line for the seminar, but no one's called yet... If you need to go too, sign up now - it'll be more fun... Besides, you have a lot more experience with landscape painting))..
