    The inclusion of the rock on right balances the image well. Top to bottom crop just right to capture the most interesting part of the sky and the water is just enough to demonstrate its tonality and some reflection from the sky but not overpower the image with a large FG presence.

    I might try cloning out the pier (I think that's what it is) on the left Artie.

    Thanks Robert. I thought that I would clone out the pier at first but as I worked on the image I decided that it was important to the image; you leave the pier to get to the gannetry on Bonavanture (the island on the right frame edge).

    Hi Artie,

    I was debating on the pier as well when I made my comments. Leaving it in ties the left side of the frame to the island like the right side land does so in that way the image is better balanced. When I made my comment I thought of this but didn't mention it. I almost said, if you clone the pier, you may try cropping the left side right to the island to balance/mimic the right side.

    Artie, Your amazing! 5 frames...handheld at 1/25 of a second! Wish I was that steady!

    I agree about taking out the pier on the left. Nice image.

    With the shorter IS (and VR) lenses some folks can make sharp images at one-half second!

    Nicely done, Artie. You certainly seem to have gotten the hang of stitching, although I would probably disagree with your description of stitching as a "snap" in your latest bulletin. That's what I thought at one point, and then got careless, and made images for a scene that were unstitchable. I was kicking myself for a long, long time.

    Thanks David. 99.99% of what I know about stitching you taught me!
