Tidal Symmetry [Contest Finalists October 2005]
Uploaded: October 29, 2005 01:17:57
Still tidal ponds on a clear day are rather unusual as the high pressure that brings clear skies almost always results in wind on the coast. I had to stop and take advantage of the opportunity. These are part of the mountains that surround Valdez, Alaska. 4 portrait photos stitched.

Thank you, Cindy :-) You CAN be here. It's only a plane ticket away. Just bring lots of warm clothing and bunches of memory or film, depending on what type of camera you're using! #2010444Bogdan Grosu October 29, 2005

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments and support! Sorry I'm a little slow. Things are getting a bit hectic this holiday season. #2143637Gary H. Minish December 14, 2005
Hi Frank. A couple things are obvious after comparing this pano with yours. One is that my white balance was off and the other is that the dynamic range of the Canon sure makes a difference in the foreground light and color. I had a couple versions that were much more similar to yours for composition (with foreground grass) but the levels were so dark that I couldn't get decent colors so the grass just didn't look appealing. It must be getting real close to upgrade time :-) #2186998Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
