Hey Matt, any chance we could click through to the full size images that were submitted? For horizontal panoramas in particular, they get resized so small it's hard to tell the image quality

I don't submit panoramas for that reason...

But you can submit vertical panoramas fine. It's discrimination! :)

Nope. I tried and it cuts them off at a maximum height.

I normally don't but I love that image. Quality is pretty damn good even if I say so myself.

Now that voting's complete, would the owner of that photo be able to repost it in higher quality? NNW?

Comp resolution is higher than anything you can do elsewhere in here. It's somewhere on my fb page.

Great shot Pteropus!

And yours, Cams!! Looks like you've done a fair bit of night photography.

Hey cams, thanks! Your shot is great too. I assume it was Girraween/Baldrock area? As usual there are so many great photos in these comps.

Yes, very nice Pteropus, Hedgerows and a Loch?

Ta Tortoise. This was actually one of my first proper attempts at this (after doing a lot of research on the techniques involved). The smallish sizes posted here actually work in my favour a bit here. There are some technical flaws that are much more obvious when viewed larger. I'm happy with the composition though, and intend to try more of this.

Ta. Yep, on the way up Castle Rock.
