Hallo Horia
A truly stunning seascape that you share with us. This is a very peaceful view and I find the different coloured layers of water really attention grabbing. This image is the result of a true photographic artist. The water, rocks, sand and sky are displayed in such a beautiful manner, and a feast to the eye. This is indeed a place where one would easily unwind after the daily rat race. I enjoyed looking at this image. It took me far away to places I have only dreamt of. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Horia,

A place I know well. Very good panorama, good work on the stitch. I think the large post would be excellent, some detail is so small here it's hard to see (my eyesight isn't that great anyway :-)) Good depth of field and great colours given the overcast weather.

I think the only way to crop would be to remove the sky completely, I don't think there is any space to crop from the foreground. And of course with hindsight being sa wonderful thing 7 vertical shots instead of 5 would give you the required dimensions :-)

Great work, a lovely image.

Regards,
Adrian

Keen! Very nice Horia...I like this almost soft quality for a change of pace...It gives a emotive to the image...A feeling that one can almost be there seeing and smelling...

Buen trabajo con el encuadre Horia. A destacar , aparte del precioso conjunto, lo bien captado del ambiente y los colores. El
formato lo encuentro muy acertado.
Buen fin de semana: Josep Ignasi Tejedor.

Hello Horia,

Great job. Very good panorama. I know what a terrible thing STICHING can be, but this is a very succelful panorama. A about the cloned out the people. Doesn't matter (-: I like the overflow from the blue water to the green rocks very much.

Have a nice weekend and TFS BOB

Hi Horia

I was going to say you were very lucky to find it so deserted as there are usually loads of people (and usually at least one idiot jumping [tombstoning] from the top - but I see you have cloned the people out. Great shot - lovely tones, great visibility (you can see the Isle of Purbeck quite easily - though it is correctly a 'Tombolo' not an island) and great sweeping composition.

Hi, dear Horia.
Terrific use of wide angle of the lens, amazing selection of the POV and brilliant composition of the image. Despite the heavy clouds on the sky you have got wonderful rich colours. DOF and details of the entire image are excellent too. Bravo, my friend. Perfect photo trophy from the trip.
Alexei.
P.S. I am very touched with your heartfelt comments. I am agree with every word about our friendship. Many thanks for being next to me. I estimate our mutual understanding so highly.

Hello Horia,
You must have worked hard to stitch this together!! But the result is fantastic - what a fabulous view of Durdle Door! It is lovely to see this whole stretch of coastline and all very sharply in focus and in beautiful colours. The British coastline is hard to beat! Well done!
TFS and have a nice weekend, Ulla

Now this is truly awesome!!
There's a real 3D effect here!
Exceptional stitching showing no evidence at all that it's made from 5 different shots.
Excellent clarity, detail and sharpness.
Superb composition too.
The colours are gorgeous!
Simply stunning, Horia, but just imagine this in large... we'd all be blown away! :-)

Incredible work, mate!

Cheers,
Joe

Well well

If this is an example of your stitching then you would also make a master taylor. You have done one of my favourite haunts proud.

Hi Horia!

You were lucky with the weather! The sky is beautiful, the diffuse light produced naturally saturated colours. These light conditions also allow to catch very peaceful and calm atmospheres.

From the technical point of view, I believe you made a great job with sticking the pictures together. Did you do it in Photoshop or with another software?

I also believe it was a good decision not to post it as a LP. I don't like them, because it's not pleasant to pan a cropped picture from left to right and back on a screen. Especially important for large landscape picture where only the complete overview provides the full impressions.

Kind regards

Hello Hello Horia, it seems like years since I have seen a picture of you, I'm so glad! And what a picture, wow! I didn't even know you had gone to England and what a panorama you are showing us, it is breathtaking! I love the very large angle of view you give us, it is stunning! You did well not to crop anything, I like it as is and I like it deserted too. Beautiful work once more, Horia, thank you so much for sharing,

Francine

Hello Horia!

I feel little dizzy lookind at this panorama :-) Beautifull place, another superb mix of sea, green meadows and rocky door. Cloning out people was great idea - now this place looks really wild. I hope we'll meet more often on TN my friend!

Hell my friend,
ah yes i remember this well! You've done an excellent job in the stitching here, (as always) and also on the cloning too...i did wonder where all the people had gone! i went back here the other night to catch a sunset but was let down once again..i'll keep trying though :o) Very well done mate, it is exactly how it was....beautiful.

Well, I've seen many shots of this place, but I would have to say this one is one of my favourites. You've chosen a different composition than all the other shots and made a more effective shot! Very nicely captured,

Hi Horia,
Amazing depth in this breathtaking seascape shot that you present to us.The DoF is fantastic in this beautiful PoV that you have used.

I am trying to learn photostitch and reading your notes i feel i myself could learn a lot.I have not yet been able to do one clean shot with the function.Maybe some day....!But i have to admit that looking at this wonderful compositon i 'm quite motivated further.

I like the way the high banks stretch almost right upto the horizon.The curved sand spot in the middle is a real eye stealer.Great ambience and mood that is relaxing and soothing even to look at.Very well done.
TFS & Cheers

Hi Horia,
What a stunning view of this famous landmark. I've seen many photos of the door, but this POV shows it in a very different way. Superb work on the stitch and keeping the exposure perfect in each photo.
Its interesting to see that when you follow the line of the door, crosses the smaller rock and meets the outer cliff on the other side of the bay. Now I can imagine how it was many many years ago.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Horia,

Being out of town so much has left me way behind on critiques so I'll have to look more at your gallery when I can. This image sure caught my eye. That curve is amazing. It just sweeps your eye into the scene and back again to Durdle Door. It is a wonderful combined photo... nice work.
