Amazing clouds and wonderful landscape - but do they belong together, Julian? You say stitched - so they were two separate images? Both beautiful, but I'm not 100% convinced they match. Sorry!

The sky is very suspect and *to me* instantly stands out. There's far too much contrast within that sky when compared to the rest of the image.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Yes all the same ground and sky. When stitched it is simply four images taken in portrait orientation and I quickly take four shots, immediately after each other and join them. same as some cameras do a pano automatically, I do it the hard way
All it enables is to achieve a much higher resolution image from a sensor. The sky was a lee ND grad with a bit of dodge and burn. some dodge and burn in the trees as well.

O well need to try again sometime. I cannot understand though what suspect means ? as if Ive done something wrong.

 

[Lee Webb]

"Suspect" as in "stands out" or to draw unnecessary attention to itself. I'm not saying you've done something wrong, whatever you have done looks overdone as the sky stands out rather a lot!

I like the tones and colours here a lot Julian. I would probably reduce the exposure and saturation towards the horizon though to give that a bit more balance with the sky and foreground. I suspect that is what Lee is referring to and is disturbing Rob.

Hope you don't mind, but maybe something like this?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, I haven't lost any sleep over it, Julian So, the sky and land do belong to each other - wow! Sorry for questioning it...
