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.

Fantastic image!!!
What equipment. and software did you use for all of this? GigaPixel?

Nice image. There does seem to be some pixelization in the sky that seems to be a big strange.

Hi Ballard, thank you. The pixilation appeared when I converted from TIFF to JPEG. That conversion also introduced some dead pixels, look at quadrant #5 (lower left, third building top).

I expect that this might be a function of the JPEG compression. How large was the initial TIFF image? If it was very large and you had to compress a lot then this might be the cause. If so one way to possibly correct it is to resize the image down then do the JPEG compression. I have had issues trying to fit inside the 20Meg limit and had to tweak the amount of compression particularly on pano shots to get them within the limit.

A very nice final result. However I would not be willing to invest 105 minutes to create it plus the time to take all the constituent photos. That's just me, I guess. But, if you are happy with it and all the effort then that is all that matters.

Hi again Ballard, the initial TIFF is 136.4 MBs. This JPEG is 8.8 MBs. I did have to convert the original file in order to upload it within the site's upload parameters.
I didn't want to down size the original TIFF because that would introduce unwelcome artifacts and would compromise the file's pixel integrity.
One quick solution to the 20 MB limitation is to upload the Pano to a Gmail Drive folder and cut/paste the link to it in the post.
