A little stitched panorama I shot at Austinmer - go on have at it - tell me what you really think... Click through to a much larger version so you can actually see it...

Twelve (12) vertical frames taken with the 16-35/4 @ 35mm, 3 to 13 seconds @ f/11 and ISO 100

Austinmer a Wider View

I like the composition Rodney, My only dislike is its just a tad dull. I guess its just lacking the pop a few rays of sunlight can offer. Other than that its your usual very high standard of work.

Rodney,

There is too much going on in this image imo. The headland on the right draw attention and could *almost* be a image by itself, this coupled with the off centre walkway just throws it all out of whack. Possibly looking at a symmetrical crop about the walkway may improve the image. The other aspect which could be improved, from a stitching POV is the straightness of the pool wall on the left, this wall is straight in real life, however the stitch has fished it. adjusting that in post would help imo.

Thanks Gerry - I'll endevour to take a look and see what I can do. Thanks for the detailed comments

Hi Gerry - how about this version incorporating your suggestions plus a little more...

compositionally much better imo.

I would adjust the yellow in the sunrise, but that is a personal preference, it looks blown and as a result looks urine coloured using a control point or selectively reducing the green and increasing the red will bring it back to a nicer colour..and imo more like the colour that I saw with my eyes.

There is that weird stuff in the sky on the right too, selectively adjust as required.

here's what i had in mind..note, i think the water on the bottom right has gone out of whack and the sunrise gone a fraction to far, but you get the idea.

Cheers Gerry - appreciated

I tend to agree with Gerry
It's a beautiful image but the dark mass on the right hand side and the concrete block in the middle tends to 'cut' the image into two parts. An odd combination of elements that work against the overall composition.
The treatment of the image is just perfect...you've caught the atmosphere and mood beautifully. I'd take care with over saturating or bumping up the contrast...I think you've got those just right. Don't make the image gaudy but rather leave it as it is. Sensual.
