Flight of the Snowy Owl
14 frame panorama/stitched/composite illustration of Snowy Owl photographed February in Quebec Canada. A telephone pole was used for registration, and then cloned out. I hope you like the "S" curve flow.
Thank you for looking, and your suggestions are always appreciated.
This is a perfect candidate for the OOTB forums, this is why I took the liberty of moving it here. Super cool sequence you got, and yes I do like the "S" curve you stitched it in. Love the gradient sky, was that added during post-processing too?
When I initially started this, I really hated how much detail I was losing as I added each owl (frame) to the illustration. The project grew, and grew until I essentially ended up with a "landscape composition" Ha! Ha! ("S" curve, vanishing point, and hint of repeated patterns, etc.). It was to be tossed, as I felt my subject owl was getting too tiny!! So thanks for the encouragement ... I also agree with the overlap Stuart, and hope this working crop helps makes some sense.
Thank you Jackie. Yes, the final working image has a resolution of approximately 45 megapixels, and the working file size was approximately 262 MB ... so there is information for a print.
Thank you Daniel. Yes, there was a natural gradient in the sky, and I tried my best to extend it laterally while I was making (lots!) canvas. The sky color around each owl is pretty close how each frame looked. I then tried my best to blend the gradient vertically.
