Hi All,
related to my previous thread, here are a few other pictures from our walk around the park. The weird wood structure is a ramp they built for a "Red Bull Crushed Ice" competition - the ramp will be filled with ice so that (young idiotic) men can skate down.
1) a Lightroom pano, stitched together from 5 hand-held photos

2) the light's starting to change...

3) the birds take flight

4) the weather was so clear that the entire chain of the Alps were visible, from Austria to the Allgäu

5) this is the Zugspitze, the highest peak in the German Alps

7) weird knitted tree covers

8) sunset through the trees

9) silhouettes

10) another through-the-trees shot
![20151225_083_DMC-G5-XL.jpg](http://www.sarasphotos.de/Private-Galleries/2015/2015010Oct-Dec-1/i-tBJTDM6/0/XL/20151225_083_DMC-G5-XL.jpg)

Criticism and comments welcome.

$4, #6, #9 and #10 are my favorites!
For #4, the pointy thing on far left, I would explore if it can be cloned out as it is getting attention....
Cheers!
3, 4 and 9 are my favs! with #9 being the Grand Prize winner!
Take care,
Wayne
#2 is very nice also, and, because it shows more of the building, I like it better than the closer shots in your other thread (imo color works better).
Taz, thanks for the heads up on that church spire. I have now cropped it out (and bumped up the orange luminosity a bit:
Cheers, Sara
Have a great new year,

That evening we were very lucky - as I said the Alps were completely "out". I stood on a bench with my friend holding onto my waist and zoomed out and rotated as smoothly as I could. The panorama was not so great because some people were standing in the way (how dare they!) but a couple of the shots turned out ok. Because my lens is so slow I had to bump to iso 1600 which in my camera means I have to do considerable noise reduction.
Cheers, Sara
