Great job! I haven't tried this yet but I imagine it's not easy, I like the delicate subject and the lighting.

gorgeous clarity! very nice job!

Thanks, this was my second attempt. I stitched them together with Photoshops Photo merge program, but initially didn't blend them. I find that works better. I then looked at each image and in some cases erased part of the image, where the overlapping image was sharper, etc.

Outstanding example.........

impressive!

More than well done!

Fantastic ! Great details and coherence between the 6 shots !

Author, if you turn the image vertically you can load incredibly LONG Images (Just make sure you stay in the 5mb limit, (in most Photo programs you will be able to VIEW ACTUAL PIXELS and this will tell you when you reach the size you want for high res WITHOUT losing Resolution)

Remember, Web Pages run vertical forever, but have limits horizontal.. GOOD LUCK (super nice image BTW!!!)

Wonderful work, what size is it?

ok I resized it to what I think is... wait let me check...ok it 1542x8221 I like it better up and down

Wow! amazing

fantastic...love the texture so much...GL

Congrats for your third place, Amanda!

Congrats

Great piece author...GL

sorry author, but i don't see panorama in this photo, the high res isnt clear either..

What are Earth are you talking about? How is 4 hand stitched shots not a pano? As far as the high res not being clear I don't know what your talking about, the spoon isn't in focus but but the beans certainly are. I wanted the focus to be on the detail of the beans not the spoon.

author, im sorry - you are right with the panorama and it is a wonderful image, but i see everything in the photo is fuzzy and unclear in the high res, if it was a little more in focus it would be a fave of mine

i agree with crystle..this is a panorama but its not a macro type.

How can this be considered anything but a macro pano? that spoon is only 2 1/2 inches long. A macro is anything with a 1:1 ratio, if you look at the full size picture the spoon is actually larger than lifesize!

Ok I re-shot this so now hopefully it looks better in High-Res. Also before you vote please keep in mind that this is not a regular size spoon, this is a baby spoon. I used it to emphasize the size of the coffee beans.

Nice work...as much a macro shot as some of the others.

Now this one way lot better from the previous and its from macro shot.

Very nice job here! I love how it came together so nicely

woooohhh , this is much better! the image is spectacular in high res now, i can see every detail of almost every single bean, great job author!!

Beautiful work author...well done
