Blyde River Canyon in Gloom (panorama)
You guys in the USofA might have the big ole Grand Canyon, but in the space of one month I was able to visit both the second and third largest canyons in the world. The second largest being the Fish River Canyon in Namibia (which we hiked through), and the third largest being this one - the Blyde River Canyon.
It differs from the others in that this one is largely vegetated with evergreen forests and is a different sight to behold therefore altogether.
I created this image on the only day we were in the vicinity (for a wedding), from a nearby lookout point. Shot 4 images in portrait format handheld, and stitched them together in Canon Photostitch.
Used levels and contrast adjustment layers to get more detail from the clouds and also burned some highlights.
I would love some critique and also advice on how to compose these pano-stitches so that the horizon doesn't curve as much.
Techs:
Canon 1000D with 18-55mm IS @ 18mm

4 images stiched (portrait compositions)
