hdr stitched panoramic of six total shots, i drew the little red boat in, i'm pretty sure it's within the rules and my shot needed a little something. duotone black and white-ish, dodging, burning, cloned out a chunk of distrating land on the left side, usm, save and submit. i'll hopefully ride the tidal wave of awesome shots for this challenge and score well, but obviously not a contender. this challenge got me out shooting more than most and i shot a ton of great stuff unrelated to this challenge but good for the portfolio. pre challenge guess of 6.0 happy voting!!

oh, another great picture gone gimmicky. What a great chance for an Ansel Adams style wonderful shot. Sorry, I think the red sail detracts from the rest of the shot.
Wonderful BW treatment with dramatic clouds and technically very well done. Not fond of the red sail and feel it is a distraction. Composition and framing are not as strong as it might be but it is a 'good' image. I'm working on a multi-image landscape panorama right now and your image reminds me of it because of your wide but narrow presentation which is common of panoramas. Don't know if yours is a multi-image panorama but I don't want mine to 'look' like a panorama. If interested I will share my work with you if I can ever get it 'right' and you are interested. LOL!!!
