Can't see it at this small size David :wavey:

No, it beats me, but as Andy says, what is it like at larger size?

A good macro study but needs a larger image to do it justice. Image a bit blue from the overcast light so could do with warming up a bit (increase in colour temperature at processing stage).

No joins visible, but not a shot I would linger over for long.

A more interesting subject may have helped. Sorry. :frown:

Hi David

I think if you want some valuable feedback on this one you need to post a small section of the join at actual pixels. Agree with Mark - image is a little on the cool side!

Thanks for the comments, gentlemen. It does look much better at a larger size and I still can't see the joins. :smile: I have no idea, however, how to show it here at a larger size. :rolleyes: I chose this rather mundane, to some though not to me, subject as I was seeing how the stitching process would cope with the different shapes and textures of the leaves, Mark, I didn't choose to warm it up as it wasn't warm when I took it. :smile:
There are so many overtly exciting and interesting images on this site that a more prosaic image now and again helps to bring me down to earth IMHO. :wink: :

Cannot see the join David but I like the image and the crop would like great bigger IMO :wink: :wink: :wavey:
