Magnificent color, saturated and good compliments between the flower and sky. Great composition and great sense of space.

György, this ND is a "hardware" filter, thus "handheld": I screw almost always a circular polarizer on my 10-22 mm zoom lens, and get vignetting with polarizer plus ND filter when ND sits in its holder. To avoid vignetting @ the xtreme wide end I must use a slim polarizer ($$) and have to hold the Cokin ND grad filter manually, a bit tricky but no way round. The digital ND filter is fine additionally, but you lose shadow tone quality if you stress your digital data too much with PS.
Cheers
Carsten

Thank you, Carsten. One more question: is the ND filter an actual physical one you attach to the objective, or something virtual in PS? Best, Gy.

György, thanks for commenting ! ND filter means "neutral dark", in this case a graduated ND (gradual increase from no filter to 3 stops grey filter, with a hard transition in this case).
With composite I always mean a layered image, so I made a single RAW shot, converted with CaptureOne five TIFFs with different settings and combined those same picture/ different tones images as layers in PS. Often I make both things, a pano from two or three RAWS, and each RAW makes two to five TIFFs (much work often, sometimes 2 to 3 hours)
Cheers
Carsten

Carsten, this is beautiful, as usual. I have some technical questions. What is an ND filter, and what do you mean by handheld? What do you mean when you say "composite of five TIFFs" - does that mean pano, or the same image in diferent layers? Thanks for your reply in advance.

Don, thanks for stopping by ! Good luck with PS and its photomerge function, I was not very happy with that ;-(
The best free stitching tool ever is PixMaker lite, IMO. Actually, not more available in the free version from Pixaround, but a Google search delivered me a download site for this little gem (3,8 MB). I could send you the exe or the link, if you want.

Once again Carsten, a beauty. Superb composition, colour depth and detail. On my flat panel the sunflower looks as though I could reach in and touch it. Bravo.
