60: 41: 318:. I'm not sure which I like better, because the uncropped version centers the mountain nicely in the middle, while the cropped version puts more focus on the mountain itself, while the uncropped version shows how the mountain comes out of nowhere, while...in either case, good picture (I'll let everyone else decide which version is best). -- 250:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is unlikely that this would be possible. Firstly, the features of the smaller hills to the right are physically less pronounced, so any shadows will not be as dramatic as on the mountain, leading to a reduction in perceived 'depth'. Also, the hills are curving away

This is a panorama composed of 7 images which I took while staying in Lanzarote last month. I think it does a reasonable job of illustrating the mountainous desert landscape of south-eastern Lanzarote - an island mostly noted for its beach resorts and the vast area of volcanos and lava flows on its

from the camera (left to right). None of my shots from other times of day show any greater 'depth' on the hills. Not much I could do about the shaded peak of the mountain; by the time the clouds had moved on it was getting dark. --
110:- I can't decide whether a tighter crop improves the image or if it's better to show more foreground to give an impression of the emptiness of the area (there was nothing but scrub for about 2km in front of me). I've uploaded a 230:. I like the shot, but would prefer it if the top of the left mountain wasn't in shadow. The right mountain also lacks any depth, although a photograph in which both mountains have well-defined shadows may not be possible. — 414:
For either version. Having had close up experience of the subject matter recently, I can say the picture portrays it incredibly. The weather at the adds to this stunning effect. A great picture all in all.
334:. My only objection to it was that the dark area at the bottom was a little distraction. But having heard everyone else's opinions, I see that the distraction is insignificant to a balanced photo. -- 34: 169:
That's on my to-do list (very busy offline at the mo) - I can't claim to be an expert on the mountain itself so whatever I do create is likely to be fairly cursory. --

it's amazing to see how the mountains appear suddenly out of the ground. The cropped version looks too, well, cropped. --

Well no, but since I live 1650 miles away it's a little inconvenient to pop back for a re-shoot :) --

Nice work. Interesting typo of mine: "hache grande" means "big axe" in French...same in Spanish?

per Cribananda. Portions of the picture are just too dark and featureless. --
336: 320: 73: 52: 402:. Seamless, well done and high res and illiustrates the subject well. 304:
Original. I like it. Nice lighting. No obvious stitching faults. --

Good Picture, and I like the contrast that the clouds provide. -
