    Hi Vivaldo, Nice job blending the images and creating a realistic look. Glad to see you picked a foreground which often times adds interest. I felt their is alot of room around the center of interest.(the sun,sun reflection and plant) I cropped the image a bit in order to accentuate that area more...

    Vivaldo -beautiful scene, well captured. Dave's comp takes it up a notch. Only nit is I think they both need the slightest cw rotation.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Lovely landscape which I think is strengthened with the cropping of the foreground. There seems to be a little added saturation in Dave's repost which I like but which may have been unintended.

    Hey Vivaldo,
    I like the colors and sun placement....and while I generally like pano crops.....I'd see if you could bring up the FG just a touch more.....as I like the ripples.....if it still doesn't have the impact then I would go with just the crop off the bottom only.....and maybe even a bit higher than Dave. Just another option for you to explore but overall....a very nice image!

    Thanks Roman I also like a bit off the bottom and would leave the sky as is.

    I too would take a bit more off of the bottom and less from the sky. You cannot go back in time; however I might have shot this from a much lower vantage point and very close to the plant so that it would be a foreground anchor.

    Not being a very subtle person, I might have popped the warm colors a bit more too.

    Very nice!
    Cheers, Jay
