Grand Overlook (view large version)

A panorama made from 7 vertical exposures stitched in Photoshop. This

jpeg definitely does not do the resolution and detail as much justice as I

see in the original, but I found this scene amazing. Let me know what you

think, good or bad. Thanks in advance for your comments.

This is quite spectacular, and it needs to be seen large; I can imagine how great it will look if printed very large.  Your composition is excellent, and the depth is impressive.  There may be no straight lines, but it strikes me as slightly tipped to the right.  Also, you might try a bit more contrast to add to the tonal range and to enrich the reddish browns in the frame.  Nice work.

It definitely need a large, full size monitor view. Or a print to appreciate this beautiful view. The vertical panorama shoot helped a lot, specially for the sharpness. Excellent composition with a good leading foreground rocks. Finished  with a sky, not to mach, not to small. Just perfect. Bravo.

I wander, where do you shoot this image exactly?

Thanks Stephen, and Bela, for your comments.  I will try your suggestions, Stephen, and repost a revised version.  I am planning on printing this large in either a canvas wrap, or on paper.  I keep thinking canvas wrap because you can get such large prints in that format.  All the best.

I understand what you did, Paul, but I don't understand your technique.  I have seen gigapixel images using upwards of 100 source images.  Rather than using a tiny aperture, would you not want to use something in a lens' sweet spot (closer to wide open) for the best image quality?  Also, for more pleasing lighting, you might want to try this at a time of day when the sun isn't as harsh.  Regards, Jeff   

HI Jeff.  I understand your point about aperture, and the lighting not being the "best", but I am not a professional and I was with a friend who is oder and out of shape, so I did not have the option to hang out until the best light was possible.  In terms of resolution on this image, I am quite happy as I know I will be able to get a very large print from it.  As I said in the opening post, this jpeg does not provide the resolution that I see on my screen with the full res image on it.  If I become a professional one day, I will take these things more seriously, but for now I am happy with what I am doing.  Having said all this, I appreciate your comments and suggestions.  In time they will help me grow as a photographer.  Take care.
