That's nice: I particularly like the semi-starbust effect you've got going on in the sky there, it adds to the drama of the scene.

Good one

John.

Very nice. The panorama really works well with this subject.

the composition looks good..

i think it may be a bit overexposed, hence you have lost a little saturation.. if you shot these RAW you may be able to fix, or a little boost in saturation with a levels adjust maybe.. also, its a bit soft on the left hand side of the pano compared to the right, any reason why?

not to say i didnt like it though, just trying to be helpful!!

dustin input is allways welcome

as we where on holiday i couldnt shoot in big files......that was at high quality on my c4040

erm not sure why left looks softer........must have been lighting conditions, i just checked and that wasnt the final edit i posted i got one adjusted so left looks better but right then looks darker and u loose detail in the bridge, it prints out of the final edit ok though.....sky is more blue.

looking at the final edit on the shot the river under the bridge and the hill behind are darker due to cloud cover and that i think is what causes that effect, i shoulda hung about a while and waited for cloud to change. carefull looking at bridge the right side is in shadow left side in sun along with foreshore and distant hills in shade.....never realises it was so awkwardly lit.......would love to just lift the lighting on the bridge!! will have a play someday soon
