Very nice, 4 stars

Stunning!

Thank you!

Hi Lynne
I don't even know what to say to that. This was shot on a Zeiss 18mm f/2.8. However, I doubt that I can convince you that it is.. I can send you a screenshot of the metadata?
I think there's a couple of people on here that visited that location.. From this spot you need a wide-angle, otherwise you won't get the whole mountain into the frame..
Can you explain to me how I would shoot this foreground together with the background on a longer lens? I would love to be able to do that for shots where I actually need compression. It would definitely include some tough foucs-stacking.

I have clearly more important things to do than arguing whether this was shot at 18mm or not, you'll have to take my word for it (:
However I'd love to see an example of something like this, which is not a pano, shot on a much tighter lens than what I used here. Feel free to point me to some materials.

Hi Lynne
So your statement bothered me more than it probably should have, but you can find a jpeg of the unedited raw file with exif as well as a bts shot from my iPhone, that I took 30mins before the actual shot, on here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gchslf6s9e0c8hq/AACamHJu-k_4cedqZkSNuhv6a?dl=0

I hope we can both agree now that this was indeed shot at 18mm.

In dubio pro reo (:

I saw in the contest comments that it's your birthday.

So Happy Birthday!! Enjoy your day with the people that are important to you and don't get too wired up by some small internet contest.

In the end, we all love photography, don't we?

Kind regards from Switzerland, Patrick

Hi Lynne
Here's a shot of the same mountains in this contest:
