This 720px max length is killing this photograph. It needs to be viewed much larger for the detail provided by the HDR. Oh well. 4 individual shots bracketed [-2, 0, +2] and converted to HDR through Photomatix then stitched into a panorama in Photoshop.
A larger version can be seen on my website under the panoramas section. //www.joshboothphoto.com

Love the wide perspective in this, works really well and the buildings really stand out (though not sure why you feel the need to add HDR to your title)
I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1124 images, I gave 31 of them a 9. Your image was one of those 31.
There are a couple of panoramic shots in this challenge, but yours jumped out at me much more than the others. The lighting and colours are exquisite, with a nice brooding sky. It really makes Atlanta look beautiful (I have no idea whether it actually is!). I'm guessing you were limited by the horizontal dimension allowed for this challenge, I'd love to see this in it's full size/resolution.
A lovely feel and mood to this image. Remarkable post processing. Would make a great wall print. I'm especially fond of the "empty" feeling of the streets, though clearly it's because of the time exposure.
I can only image how cool this looks full size. Too bad the pixel limitations here take away from it. I really like your post processing, and am looking forward to learning how you did it. That is, if you will share ;)
Now that is a really stunning shot showcasing the beauty of the city. Love how the highway curves at the bottom from left to right to add visual interest to the shot. Then there is that road with the light streaks of traveling cars that is perfectly centered in the middle of the image. It curves and draws our eye to travel into the cityscape. Some beautiful details of and on the buildings we see in the skyline. Beautifully captured and well done my only critique is that it is a shame it is so small because I would love to explore more of the details...but that really is not a fault of yours just a limitation on the 720 pixels a side limit.
