Leftovers

Just going through some hard drives.

A few years ago from Grand Mesa. Four images stitched with PS2.

Very nice image Ron. I find the dark clouds at the top to be a bit distracting and there is a little blending issue up there too, but a crop might fix them both.

Hi Ron, great color and nice overall scene. This ones tricky because cropping that semi distracting cloud inturupts your rule of thirds.

There's just something cooky going on with that stitch. The exposure difference between a few of the shots is easy to spot; assuming you print this big..that will be a deal breaker for you. Lastly, I'm just not understanding the overall proportion of this stitch. Look at the top of the tree on the right, then look at the reflection, from the reflection pan to the left. The reflection tiptop of the tree is directly in the middle of the dark cloud. Now compare the non reflection tiptop of the tree and pan left. Its not eve close to the cloud. Just weird.

What a nice image to find in your archives! I'm not too bothered by the dark clouds. As far as the inconsistent color in the blue sky (Perhaps a polarizer was used? Not sure, but it might be the cause) adding an additional blue-colored gradient layer in Photoshop, erasing it where the clouds are and flattening it with a low opacity might help the blend to appear a bit more natural. Nice scene though from a wonderful place, Mesa Lakes.

Yeah, this was a troublesome image from the beginning, which is why it was left on the hard drive. The blues have always bugged me but I am not that great at photoshop when it comes to this type of problem. I have single images of this same scene that are pretty nice.

Thanks for the tips, I appreciate them all.

Single shot of the scene. After I made this image I realized that I had the ISO on 400 from shooting in low light. Sigh.
