Outstanding Tom, great out of the box thinking to produce an image that is different and a pleasure to view.. just checked it and it does appear to need a 0.94/0.95 degree CW rotation (hows that for nit picking :biggrin: ), Easy way to check is to use the measure tool draw a line from the main catchlight to the catchlight in the reflection the choose arbitary rotation the correct amount is already filled in.

Really like this as an image.

Fantastic shot Tom - correct the rotation nit and it'll be a stunner - gotta be a competition final round level pic, it's got absolutely everything going for it, rarity of subject, subject appeal, compositional strength and tech correctness (apart from the uphill water).

Simply a cracking shot Tom :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Very nice indeed.

I know vertical panoramics can be hard to achieve from the few I've tried.
This one has a lot of appeal to it.

The slight tilt in the water does not bother me, and in any case wouldn't it tilt if you were shooting at an angle?

Hi Tom
Re my comment about the water needing levelling,I can see its not the water but the angle shot to the bank that thru me-will get my eyes checked and apologise for the comment
