The original file format is "RAW". Each image is adjusted for Lens correction, Digital noise, finally Pixel De-mosaicking.
It is a composition of 24 photos.
The image is composed of a "Top Panorama" and a "Bottom Panorama". Total=2 Panoramas.
Each Panorama has four quadrants. Total=8 quadrants.
Each quadrant has three HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos. Total=24 HDR photos.
Each HDR group of three is blended and tone mapped into one image. Total=8 images.
The "Top" four tone-mapped images are stitched into one "Top" Panorama.
The "Bottom" four tone-mapped images are stitched into one "Bottom" Panorama.
Total=2 Panorama (Pano) images.
The two Pano tone-mapped images are merged into one image.
Result= a single tone-based image.
It takes approximately 105 mins to produce one pc image.

Looks good
A suggestion would be to raise the shadows and the overall shot.
The nice thing about hdr is it gives a lot more options

After all that, you should hang it on your wall. Beautiful!

Thanks Hamltnblue. I didn't want to edit anything. I'm sure there is more that can be done. This is my first attempt at HDR-Panorama image-making.

I used the 3D filter in Photoshop CC to give me an HDR and dimensional effect, however your use of HDR looks great.

Very ambitious, with a great result. I do have one question - how did you get the clouds to stop moving long enough to do HDR AND Pano with so many images? To think, you used an FZ300 which makes the result even more impressive!

You might want to consider doing some frequency separation editing on the sky, which, upon close examination, has a lot of vertical and horizontal artifacts.

Gene, please talk more about frequency separation editing.

Thanks,

Thank you Gene5. I credit the "ghosting" option/feature in Aurora HDR particularly because the clouds had moved from the time of the first HDR-bracket to the time of the fourth HDR-bracket.
You are correct, I used a Lumix DMC FZ300 at 90mm focal length (I have a walking/balance limitation that forces me to use a bridge camera).
I'll look at the frequency separation issue.

Thank you to each and everyone.
The folks on this site inspired me to push a little harder, and I appreciate it.
