Very nice Matt - love those clouds - never seen any quite like that.
Cheers,
Matt: Wow, those cirrus clouds in #2 (especially) look like fantastic flying Japanese paper cranes, made out of cloudstuff! And the rainbow bokeh in #3 has some real possibilities--try it with distant lights at night. Also love the Seattle Center fountain photos. They also point up an Achilles heel of digital--highlights can go "splat" instead of gently fading to white, unless you underexpose and hope you've got enough info in the low end to bring up. But you know what? One of my favorites is #7, where they do blow out, but you've picked up the coating of mist around the fountain, and the posterization makes it look surreal.

Matt: great clouds and composition in that cityscape pano! I'm using Enfuse, it is donation driven software and richly deserves a healthy donation, it does HDR (and alignment if necessary) nothing more, nothing less. And it does it right. As for the out of focus foreground, I assume you mean the 75 Cron shot? I think that was f/8.0 anyway, alas there is no option for tilt (and no way to predict the effect) on an M.
Cool, Funky Clouds With Strong Contrast! Nice Looks & Set Matt!
Matt: Very nice set. Like that third one, of the couple on the bench, especially.
Lovely series Matt, but that last one is beautiful.
