Overall, you have provided a nice look into the surroundings up there. Idaho is a beautiful place. The first shot.....I like the pano crop and the conversion, but for me the strip of bright snow in the foreground should be cropped as well. The second shot.....I think it would have been...

taken at Great Sand Dunes National Park two very chilly mornings ago. Pentax *istDL and kit lens Focal Length: 18.0mm (35mm equivalent: 27mm... Exposure Time: 0.050 s (1/20) Aperture: f/22.0 ISO Equiv.: 200 Warming filter

This is tremendous. Sharp as a tack throughout and the contrasts and composition are very pleasing to the eye. Nicely done.

This is interesting and I like the mood, but I also think it's rather chaotic.

Love the comps, the tonal combinations, and the exposures are spot on. It would be nice to see a bit more contrast to get those colors to pop, but it's nice as is too because it's kind of moody for the storm brewing. Also, the lower shot....which I love the birds perched and the ocean...

Surreal. Looks like a piece of art. Wow!

A couple more recent local shots.....

The edited version is SO much better. Good job.

sami, not sure this is the right forum section for this question. Essentially, you can get some decent sunset shots from p&s. The drawbacks of the smaller sensor in them include limited dynamic range, noise from low light, etc. (so I recommend you step up and get an entry level DSLR), but that...

If it were me I would crop out the upper portion of the scene. The cloud in the upper right is interesting, but out of focus.

Always a small world it seems. I used to live not far from Ft. Lauderdale.....Delray Beach. Let's keep this going......A few from a reservoir not far from my home:

Thanks, Joe. Your shots are impressive. Here's another sunset in the Front Range area of northern Colorado.... Pentax *istDL and kit lens

Fossil Creek Reservoir near Loveland, Colorado Pentax *istDL and kit lens Focal Length: 18.0mm (35mm equivalent: 27mm... Exposure Time: 0.033 s (1/30) Aperture: f/8.0 ISO Equiv.: 200

Hi Steven. I like the perspective. The exposure looks spot on. I think it needs more contrast to make the colors pop, and it looks a little soft on my monitor. If it were me, I would have tried to get the pixel ratio closer to 3/2 instead of 2/1. The vertical comp works well, but it would be...

I like the second one too. The first one has some very nice elements.....but I would have been tempted to have a little less of that bald sky at the top. They both work well as is, though.
