Located on the mountain peak 850m above the sea level Mount Irvine is a tiny settlement in the area of Australian Blue Mountains. Cool wet climate and rich basalt soil for millions of years provided perfect environment for the rainforest to grown here. Never before I saw such a magical, thick and absorbing forest. It is so dense that sound sometimes is having difficulty getting through it. A number of times when I was standing at the middle of the road with my tripod taking this photograph I just could not hear a car driving out of the curve 50m behind me.
I took a total of 18 shots to create a tall HDR panorama (2 columns of 3 bracketed sets of -2/0/+2EV). This is a tone-mapped HDR of approximately 60% of the resulting panorama.

Больше похоже на нарисованную кистью или, скорее, даже созданную на компе картину, но не на фото…
It’s an impressive shot. Nice composition and nice work with the panorama. I guess you can print this one in a huge format.
Regarding HDR capturing, the sky looks blow out, probably you’ll need to capture a bigger range.
Thanks for comments! LightningPaul: It was overcast day and we entered the fog-like clouds when we got on the mountain. So, I am not sure if it was possible to capture the sky differently (let me know if it is). It is pretty much as it was there.
Gorgeous greens! I’m not generally a fan of HDR but this one is really subtle and could pass as a single exposure, well done.
