Description
...some may say I had too much time on my hands with this photo.
I was looking for something different:)
This is a view of downtown Seattle looking eastward across Elliot Bay from West Seattle where the first pioneers landed at Point Alki in 1852. Can you imagine their view...nothing but thick evergreen forest where today, a mere 158 years later, we have this metropolis.
Bill:)
P.S. Zoom worthy.

Ohhh...great idea, great composition and great shot. Very very very well done..
And it is indeed different, but a very beautiful threshold. :)
Most unique and interesting image. I like the effect of this image! Great creativity and idea!
a big city for sure. lot to see and do there.
Wonderful shot! though I think I'd like to see more trees than buildings Wonderful panorama
It is zoom worthy and it is a great big cityscape. It looks great in B&W too. Excellent capture.
How cool is this? How many shots did you take to get this whole pano? Great postwork effect too, accentuating the cityscape and nothing else. Well done you!
Hey, I can see the Space Needle! This could also be a view seen through the periscope of a Chinese or Russian submarine. Nonetheless, fine detail in this time consuming effort, Bill.
Great Panoramic view of the city Bill, excellently done, love the effect and B&W look..
I must be honest and say it's never been my favourite PS filter, but good on you for trying it anywayz! Goodoleboy said he liked it because of the fine detail...erm....it's the lack of detail that a threshold filter produces that irks me!
I love the way this turned out. It's got a great look that cries out to be a bumper sticker for something! Instantly recognizable, great graphic vibe, and yet it's still a photograph. Way fun!
Building blocks of a skyline. Quite a panorama, Bill! Clive
Wow, this is quite a shot--great work!!!
You are correct Bill it is different but I like it.
Very different Bill, It is a marvelous work. Hugs. Di. xx
Clever stuff. I remember spending hours with some special chemical and hard paper achieving this effect.
Xcellent panoramic view!
It's super work Bill. I do recognise the the 'needle', but its a shame about all that forest.. My tree hugger side talking there! lol Excellent work mate! Rob
Excellent!
Looks terrific....
Excellent work on this Bill! :)
Amazing, hard to visualise the greenery!!!
Great job with this pamorama. It's almost too long (chuckle) - hard to see all the details (as is the unfortunate usual problem with photos of this kind). Must have been a challenge to knit together. Did you use Photoshop, or one of those recent panorama stitching software products that have come out on the market? Keep up the good work! :-)
Beautiful scenery and great postwork! Very reminiscent of the line work, when it was used for this, the film photomechanical!
Excellent Bill can see this on a large wide print in a modern room
Excellent image Hugs susan~
I have always wanted to visit Seattle and this definitely caught the charm
You know, Bill, this reminds me a lot of some experimenting I did many years ago with a package of 8 X 10 litho film I got from a trade show I attended. I would put the litho under the enlarger and use it like a sheet of photo paper. Really cool effect, and great job on the pano!
marvelous panorama!
BIG pano, BIG City, BIG thumbs up....I love it.
