About Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
(Robert Frost)

Technically, I tried to "expose to the right" with a (handheld) bracketing series, landscape format @ 10 mm, that is 16 mm in film terms. To get 100 deg FOV in a square format, I stitched two landscape TIFFs with PtGui vertically. The upper / lower half TIF was each a composite of RAWs exposed for the highlights/ shadows, midtones (because of handheld induced shift, stitched with nearly 100% overlap in PtGui), to compensate the wide dynamic range of the scene, I wanted detail in the sky and shadows.

You did a lot of work and I don't quite understand it all. Howeer, I do know that I really like your result. The bronze coloured path leading off into the unknown distance or futuren makes a beautiful and effective composition.

Technically perfect, as usually. I like the composition because of the strict symmetry of the road and at the wide lower section as if the fallen leaves are whirling toward the center of the picture, also dragging the gaze of the viewer with themselves. And what a beautiful Robert Frost poem, thanks for sharing, Carsten. György

Congrats Carsten, this is masterly done!!!! To read your about about the technique are very interesting and i start to wonder what your profession is....
I like the sharpness of the leaves on the ground and the FACT that all leaves are laying there in same direction, as pointing foward - keep on walking :) Further on i can see that it?s lighter, a hole in the clouds maby.... Wonderful combination of colours, technique and beautiful and moody nature at the fall!!!!

This is a very creative use of PTGui, which I use more conventionally for panoramas. I would say your digital darkroom skills are already far advanced. More than that, though, the final image is truly arresting.

Another seamless photo Carsten! The distortion this lens gives kinda pulls your eyes into the frame. Some photographers would try to avoid this phenomenom....but i like this a lot.

This is outstanding dynamic range Carsten, and completely invisible in the photo.
From the deep shadows under the trees to the cloudy sky above, all exposure zones are perfect! Your work paid off.

Sergio, thank you for pointing out the light @ the end of the road. It was indeed this lighting what caused me to stop my biking and take a shot. With this FOV, it is quite small, but... kind of icing on the cake, IMO
