[Leica] IMG: Clearing Rainstorm (6 image panorama)

[Howard Ritter]

Just beautiful, Jay. I’d say it was well worth getting wet for.

In particular, the right-hand third or half is especially striking; the fall colors are magnificent and something about the progression from the distant trees to the trees and their shadow in the middle distance to the illuminated patch of reeds in the deeper foreground to the clump of colorful plants in the nearer foreground conveys a wonderful feeling of depth, which is further emphasized by the lone tall plant sticking up to overlap elements of the subject at two farther distance ranges. If you ever wanted to make a convenient print out of this, full panoramic prints being a bit unwieldy to handle, you might consider one of just the area from the right-hand border to just past the near point of land where the right bank pushes into the water.

IMHO, this is a very show-worthy image in every respect. If I’d taken it, it would be framed on my wall by next week!

I just can’t stop looking at the colors and detail in this! I’d love to see it twice this big in the Gallery…
