landscapes Su Giudeu (pls, view larger!)

This is my first try with the photo-merging feature in PS CS4. The subject is the "Su

Giudeu" (The Jew) pond. Only a quite invisible white sand strip separates the pond

from the sea and it's part of a spectacular natural environment. The picture has been

taken at 5:50 AM. Thank-you for c&c and ratings

Thank-you very much for your visit and your warm words and rating. May I ask you to use my first name (Mauro) next time? Moroni is my last name and in Italy is quite "bureaucratic" the use of the last name. BTW is Kaushik your first name? :-)

Mauro

amico mio! è veramente molto che non ci sentiamo. Vengo presto a farti visita e spero in cuor mio di non trovare solo foto "oniriche" :-)

Grazie per il tuo apprezzamento. Conta molto per me

Mauro

Lovely place. You capture its beauty. Horrible framing. If it has to be black, perhaps...

David, my friend, thank-you again for your support. This is really a wonderful place, one of the very few environment in Sardinia not yet devastated by uncontrolled urbanization. 30-40 km of wild quite untouched coasts. A true paradise. The width has been a wonderful surprise to me obtained with PS. I never imagined that it could be able to merge so perfectly two pictures taken without the tripod and with a slight relative perspective error. Technoly can be wonderful when you learn to control it!

Best regards

Mauro

Rajat, dearest fellow, I'm pleased you like this place but I don't share your opinion on the framing. It's neutral, while your proposal is very heavy and change definitely the ratio of the image that I want to be elongated. My framing wants (and can accept that fail in this goal) recall the film border you were used to have with the panoramic cameras available in the '80s.

Thank-you for commenting anr rating.

Well done Mauro! Beautiful light, and lovely composition. Looks like a seamless stitch job to me.

All the best,

Neil

Thank-you Neal for your appreciation.Tthe stitching is totally merit of Photoshop CS4 whose function photomerge works very well.

Mauro

Elena, thank-you. The original if perfectly clear, I don't know why the jpg has a lower sharpness.

Koushik, thank-you for your appreciation. You know it means a lot for me.
