Very nice picture, but I don't get how it fits the challenge theme.

Love the grey scale usage and dof.

Great work! The colors are just amazing, the shot itself is well balanced (especially like the placement of the schooner on the right) and best of all, there's no sign of stitching where the photos met. This was certainly worth getting up early for!

I'll second Bear_Music, though, and say that some contrast masking to bring out the darks a bit more will add even more punch to this!

Hey, thanks you all.

In response to jdannels, I'm aware of these spots, and they actually were worse when I originally uploaded it. So I will need to go back and make some changes with the merge -- I think I have some other shots where I can use your erasing technique. Then it's just a matter of dragging over some layers from the .psd and Voila! But that'll wait till I get it ready for printing.

In response to Beetle, feel free to upload your version and share it with me along with your parameters, I'd love to see what you're talking about.

Bear - I think that was what Beetle was getting at -- and I see the sky thing too now that I view it at 640px.

Each of these photos were at f/16 for eight seconds. It was really difficult to get a Pano this way as the light was changing FAST! I had my shutter release and my tripod and fired successive shots for a minute as the light was really getting nice.
