Artist's Comments

A public fishing pier...where men from every walk of life can just relax and be, and enjoy the beauty of nature....

Gordon's Bay, South Africa

All questions welcome, I spent about 3 hours on the processing. Getting the colors as true as possible was hell...but worth it. Much more natural processing than I usually do(in terms of color).

I'm gonna have an A1 canvas print of this made for myself

Beautiful use of wide angle and contrast!

Did you stitch more photos to make this one?

It's pretty and it's getting a

from me but 1 question....

Why would it take 3 hours of hell in post processing to get the colors to look "true"? I understand that rendering pano's does take time as well.

I would have liked to a contrast boost here as well.

Great perspective here and great location.

Understood..

I still think the image deserves a little bit of an extra *pop* Specifically in the pier area. It seems that it should be a little brighter and contrasty. Maybe I expected more since you hyped it up last night in your journal

-just my opinion.

I love the shot though.

Yip. but I don't like how much I process my photos. I want a more natural look

This is amazing! I logged on to my facebook right away when you mentioned it yesterday and loved the shot from the first moment.
For the question thing:
How do you manage to make the stitching of the water natural. When you combine more pics I think it's quite difficult, because the water moves and stuff...did you get what I mean
