I shot this large Pano last Saturday, it's 7 36MP vertical shots stitched together. Here's my question: Should I leave it as or or dodge and or burn it all over the place?

It looks pretty good to me. If you re-post and click on Download, we can see it in more detail. That would make a nice metal print.

I agree, metal would be the way to go, Would look awesome hanging on someone's wall.

That depends on your interpretation of the scene. If you wish to add your personal interpretation/vision of the scene, then by all means burn and dodge.

Personally, I think it would make the scene come alive.

As requested.. this thing is huge, on the original you can make out people in the windows of the buildings across the river.

I agree with you.. I think the towers need to be lighter, it would make it come alive. I would also like to re-shoot on a cloudy night. Give the seen more interest.

Overall, it's a very nice pano and I agree would look very good as a metallic print.

Regular print would be very nice, too.

The only thing that bothers me at all is the reflection on the water on the far left. I'd try burning that down a bit because it's brighter than the others and sort of draws your eye to that area. Otherwise I don't see a lot of need for add'l work.

Looking at the download, I see some bright areas that could use some dimming - like the left side of the carousel area and that bright rectangular light on the left.

I would like to see the left side bridge support and trees brightened. I'm sure there is plenty of detail in the shadows waiting to come to life.

Great Image. The only suggestion I have is, Try Topaz Clarify. That will open the image and fully clarify it all.
Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
