Newlands Corner panorama

Before joining this forum I would barely have thought of editing a picture in panorama format. But I think it suits this image quite well. A rework of a shot from 3 years ago.

It most certainly does.

I like panos well enough but I think that this one is a bit extreme. I'd like a bit more of the sky in this one.

Nice capture.

Nice image Peter. What does the original image look like?

I assume that you have eliminated a lot of foreground and / or sky that wasn't really contributing to the final image.

Nice image but I think losing about a quarter from the left side might produce a stronger scene.

A very nice image, and a good subject for a panorama.

I think I agree with Geoff: if it were mine, I would crop from the left, although less than he suggested. The area on the far left has a lot of visual weight and distracts from the wonderful lines in the rest of the composition. Just my two cents.

Here is the uncropped original jpeg.

Thanks Peter - One piece of advice I was given on panos is that one should rarely exceed a 3:1 width to height ratio. The aesthetics tend to work better when the pano is not too long and skinny.

I like the original too

I agree Manfred, that why I often choose 16x9 format for landscape, reducing the sky or the foreground depending of the picture.
Nice picture Peter, the two people give the scale of the panorama.

Another gem of info, thanks Manfred, that I have filed away in my electronic card file. Your wisdom features pretty often in there!

Thanks for sharing, Peter, I really like the picture and the two figures. My humble opinion is that a crop off the left to just the right of the clumps of slightly higher earth (at front), would work well.

Well done.
