    I made this stitched image in southern Israel: these are salt ponds that attract waders and gulls, with the Jordanian mountains as a backdrop. The lighter patches on the mountains is the reflection of the setting sun. I used Topaz Simplify Buzz Sim IV, with a blend mode layer of soft light.

    Nice panorama, seamless stitching, birds in the water a bonus. Only thing I might have done is toned down the bright spot on right. Thanks for sharing

    The colours in the mountains are beautiful Wendy. I like the strip of sand and might crop to a thinner band of water for another option.

    Nice job with the stitch Wendy. The colors and mood are great and I love the little scattering of shore birds. Well done!

    Beautiful subtle variations of pinks and blues in this. The even pale strip of sand adds a nice simple line that for me holds the top and bottom layers together very nicely. Plus it mimics that white layer of clouds, so you have turquoise & white on top and turquoise and white on the bottom. I probably would not have added the vignette. The darkness on the sides is distracting from the cleaner colors of the rest of the image. Also agree with Paul about toning down that bright mountain spot on the right.
