Re: January best of
They do appear brighter now. And it is better. When I was looking on my laptop, - the photo still seems to me a bit dull. I came home and looked on a big desktop screen, maximizing to the full screen, - and it looked much better. So, this is one of those photos where the way you look at it is critical. (It still didn't become my favorite in this set, but I like it more now.) I hope my suggestion was helpful.

Re: January best of
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback. I've been recalibrating my monitors so I'm very interested in how the exposure/brightness levels work for folks.

The panorama is done nicely, - but I've noticed an interesting effect: you (I) spend time working on a panorama, enjoy the process, get the result, and then people are not that much excited to look at it... I guess, this is because panoramas are hard to see (they require scrolling), and for the most part they are lacking a single "attention focus" that people are used to in a photograph. It is in a way similar to the difference between a novel (with its multiple events are story lines happening in parallel) and a short story or novella (with a compact and pointed plot). BTW, I think there is a similar effect with a "3D" panoramas in museums: it seems to me that many people do not spend time looking at the multitude of the details and things happening in a complex panorama (or a 3D model worlds). An exception might be when something is moving in those, attracting attention, such as in the Hamburg's "Miniatur Wunderland": http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/ (watch the video) The coolest part, IMHO, is the airport: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9IlPDOar7E (I haven't seen this place myself.)
