Bridge panorama

I took this photo at about 2:00 PM today so the light wasn't that great. I ended up doing some editing and eventually converting it to sepia. At first I used CS2's automerge feature, but it left large diagonal lines in the photo. I downloaded autostitch and got a much better result.

I want to retake this photo when it is right before sunrise (sun rises about right third of photo) and hopefully the sunrise will provide some dramatic light.

Let me know if it looks too processed, although all I really did was mess around with levels.

This was taken with the 50 1.4 mounted on a 350D, with a tripod and remote shutter release. It is composed of 7 images, I have another which shows the whole bridge and is a compilation of 15 photos (EDIT: I added this one after the photo I'm talking about up to this point... added below - disregard the diagonal lines on the right side of the photo that wouldn't be there if I used autostitch, which would take another 5 min to stitch).

wow.. I really like those photos.. I especially like the color accent, nice choice.

Great captures! I think the 1st pic could be rotated a tad pit clockwise.... Horizon doesnt look level.

Good Job!

Should I print the top one? (10x30")? And what frame/mat should go with it, I'm thinking about a black mat but I don't know where I can get 10x30 mats or for that matter something like a 16 x 36 frame.

A 10x30" print from whcc is about $16 - seems a bit high, which is the only reason I hesitate.
