Well, I don't have a wonderfully trained eye yet, but I think its stunning. Only thing is that there is something about the clouds...not sure what. But overall, its beautiful

I think that the same scene taken on a less overcast day would have led to a slightly more contrasty image. As it is, it's a little less vibrant than one might like, although that's very subjective.

Thanks Deb,

Ya i wish if the sky was in a beter condition, It was not a great day to take the photo, but i took the chance.

I really like the slightly subdued colors (but as Robert is saying, that's really subjective - I'm not a big fan of saturation and vibrancy in general) and I think the framing is perfect for a panorama.

The sky could perhaps benefit from some dodging (neutral grad filter/effect?), and a slightly lower viewpoint might have hidden the road and some of the buildings in the background from view.

Great shot though!

i agree with Robert. overall i like the composition.

I actually like the sky in this shot. I think with some post processing, this shot could really be great.

First, play with curves. I think the clouds have some real potential, but they need some contrast. Mess with curves until you get something you like.

Also, the colors could be a lot more vibrant. Open a new adjustment layer, and play with the saturation, maybe with a layer mask over the clouds so you don't screw them up.

Then do some sharpening. Use either the unsharp mask or high pass (or both). If you need any help with this, feel free to PM me and I'll walk you through it as best I can.

Great shot, have to agree with the sky comments.
Did you clone something out of the sky? I see repeating patterns.

I will work at the points you mentioned.

Good eye.

Ahhhhh...maybe that's what it is. I love the shot, as I said before, but something seems off about the sky....although I could be wrong
