Panoramic Coastal Views

I have chosen these two panoramas from among my latest works.
They reflect incredible moments of light in truly beautiful and stunning places.
Specifically, the photo of the hermitage was something that I had in my mind for a long time and that I was finally able to photograph!

What do you think about the panoramas?

Since you ask, Álvaro, my reaction is that you've executed these images extremely well, with beautiful light and hues creating a wonderful atmosphere.

However, the "bowl" perspective these panoramas create always looks contrived and unappealing to me, even gimmicky, so I'd rather put up a "straight" landscape up on my wall for staying power. I used to like these, but they quickly lost appeal for me.

I mean no offence, and respect your craft and personal vision. But since you asked... :-)

Thank you Chris!

In my case, I really like this bowl perspective and I find it a great way to frame a photograph and focus the point of interest on the subjects of the photo.
In the end, it is a matter of vision and personal taste!

Don't worry, any constructive criticism is always welcome!

I understand your explanation of your liking for the bowl perspective, and agree with that. I really love the atmosphere in the second one.

Nice to have a friendly discussion about our differing views. :-)

It's nice to have friendly discussions about our works!
Thank you mate!

Both panoramas are just amazing, love the bowl perspective, this always gives the viewer the opportunity to see and walk from one point to another.

Just two observations, the blur doesn't have to be apply to all the images, from my opinion it takes some reality from the frame and second the protection of the highlights on the clouds in the first image.

Amazing work though.

Thank you Angel!
