About the Image(s)
Last month a PSA podcast featured Lisa Cuchara and her presentation on panoramas. I was inspired and gave it a try. For this image I shot 15 handheld images and deleted 4 because the flowers tapered off at one end of the sequence. In LR I merged 11 images, in PS I created the flower mask and changed to B/W sepia. I added in about 10 more flowers to fill in holes. I underestimated the amount of work needed to create the layer mask since I was dealing with 11 images.

Sure like the composition here.....Maybe tone down the bright clouds and brighten up the sunflowers a bit ?? Posted: 09/08/2020 12:55:05
Like the vintage looking. Clouds seem a little too contrasty. Posted: 09/22/2020 17:16:00
Really like the composition. Wonder what it would look like in partly desaturated colour rather than b&w sepia. Posted: 09/24/2020 02:05:36
Such stitched panoramas are fun, but a LOT of work. I'd suggest cloning or cropping out the half flower at the middle left edge of the frame. I kind of like the one peeping in at the bottom right! Have you printed out this image in a large size? They don't convey the full impact on a digital monitor. Posted: 09/27/2020 04:11:23
I will make the final adjustments in Oct. and plan to print on canvas at 80"x25" Posted: 09/27/2020 07:10:45
I would like to see a little bit more of the clouds to enhance the sense of space. The sunflowers are excellent. Posted: 09/28/2020 02:48:20
