 This is a 360 degree panoramic. Three 8mm fisheye shots stitched together. I took the best 3 raw exposures, bracketed them into 4 exposures each with adobe raw CS5 then created 3 fusion shots with photomatix then stitched them in PT Gui Pro. Opened the tiff back up in camera raw and made a few minor adjustments. Did some cloaning in photoshop to make sure the waterline matched up, saturated, sharpened, cropped to 3/1 aspect ratio, resized and saved for web. I hope to break 6 with this.

Really cool shot, but unfortunately panoramic s are not allowed at DPC. It can be confusing since in advanced and expert editing rules you can use multiple exposures. The framing of the exposures can't change though so shifting the camera to get stitch able images doomed you. Hey, nice photo though and that's what matters most.

I like the crop & the perspective but I'm not a big fan of the frame.

Don't care for the border...but I also don't think it would do good without one either.

Love this! Great shot and awesome perspective. Not crazy about the frame, but that's really nitpicking and a personal choice. Very good work.
