Glad you posted this. I enjoyed the B&W pano from a photo-art perspective; the colour here stirs the Earth Scientist within.

Nice. The texture of the rough area is enhanced and I like the extra markings in the smooth bits. The subdued sky highlights also allow the sculpture to present more strongly.

Almost a nowscape.

The high contrast has me thinking straight away of a moonscape. Great stitch!

I prefer this tighter crop, and I can see the merit in lifting the colour punch, but for me the colours are bit too intense. As always I respect that you're expressing your artistic view, and it may also be that you're addressing a specific brief in the unspecified game. I can't help but wonder too, how you select an image for redux, given the thousands of images in your collection. Are you able to search your catalogue by key words, or do you rely on remembering particular images?

You're back on the winners' dais! An amazing transformation. Multiple thumbs up.

Hard to choose. The foreground paver pattern is stronger in the original but the main floodlight seems more nicely controlled. However, the more distant highlights over on the left have picked up a glow. On balance, my vote goes to the original.

Stick with the original I reckon
