30 hours of PP later and here is the result...

I originally thought this would take 20 hours to finish at 10 hours in, but ended up being over 30 hours to finish it down to the pixel level.

I usually get sick of seeing a shot after such amount of time working on it, but this one still gives me a happy feeling of being right there on the mountain.

looks great. I am a noob, but what exactly did you spend 30 hours on...?

Gorgeous. I was suposed to climb that one this year, but I had to push it off till next year, hopefully.

Care to share the details of the shot and PP work.

Better get a huge print and a nice matted frame for that one. It's a beauty!

Glad you folks like it.

Short answer is that this is actually 38 images combined. It takes a lot of hand work and less automation if you want the results you're looking for. It would look like trash if I left it to automated software when this is printed near or beyond 100% pixel levels.

On the full-res version, you can actually see a little humming bird in the flowers. Hopefully I can print large enough to show it.

That's gorgeous, worth every minute of those thirty hours!
