2nd attempt at panos

[Dave Woeller]

As stated above, this is my second attempt at a pano stitch, so all advice and comments are greatly appreciated. The shot was taken on a very cool morning with mist rising from the lake, and is a 4 shot stitch.
Canon 50D, 24-105 @ 105, 1/4 sec @f22, ISO 200, Stitched in CS4 and curves adjustment in LR

When doing panos try shooting vertically 1 over one x 3 or 4 wide. fun to do

[Dave Woeller]

Wow ! Talk about a huge file, but it does sound fun. :D

Hi Dave,good job on the pano stitch! The comp has a mood to it and you framed the mist and dock well.
I felt it was a bit dark for my taste so I lightened it to give you another option. I also took out some small whitish areas on the right side which I felt were a bit distracting.
I repeat that I also feel the original isn't flawed just a different take on it...

Like Dave's repost, good job

[Dave Woeller]

Thanks Dave and Dennis. I like the repost also and I'm gonna go back and work with the file some more. I like that the trees have been opened up, but I still want to keep that mood of early morning. Thanks again

Hey Dave,
While I like Dave's repost....I'd go with just a hair lighter on the trees only of the OP.....I tend to like them darker and moodier. Very nice job with this one

[Dave Woeller]

Thanks Roman, I still like the darker feel, and bringing up just the trees a touch may do the trick,
