Cades Cove Panorama

[Judy Howle]

This is an 8 image pano, handheld. It was made at the Overlook near the west end of the Cove the same day as the last one. Canon 40D, 17 - 55 IS, f8, ISO 100.

Hey Judy,
The stitch is very good and I like the flow of the comp here. I do feel the tree works on the right edge for balance. I think you could tone down the sky and mountains a touch....to even out the tones with the FG......so just tweaking that will take this up a notch.

Judy, I agree with Roman's suggestion on toning down the sky and mountains. I also suggest cropping the bottom to just above the brown patch in the middle. I find it catches my eye. Good work on the pano. I like the flow of the composition from the left to the right.

Hi Judy, a 3rd vote for toning down the sky and mountains to bring out more detail. The pano crop works well here and agree that the brown patch could be cropped or filled in.
A nice scene but with warmer light(late or early) would add to the overall...

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I'll try to re-work it soon. I guess I got carried away on saturation of the sky...

Here's the re-worked image.

SKy looks much better here Judy. Nice work.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Robert.

Hi Judy, your addition of more detail in the sky has helped the image...

A lovely panorama this is. Nice repost. The stitching looks fine and seamless.

Thanks Dave and Kaushik. Photoshop does a remarkable job of stitching.
