 One of my entries in the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park photography contest. This is a panorama stitched together from five individual frames.

Prism,

Thanks for your comment. This picture won second place in the contest. (I also won first place with the Odyssey image. The judges could not tell who did the shots. I think they were embarrassed to have given the two top prizes to the same person.)

The shadows are a natural result of the panorama process. Think of it this way. I'm standing with my back to the sun. I start by pointing the camera to my left. The shadows in the image go to the right. Then I take a series of shots turning towards the right for each one. By the time I get to last image, I'm looking to the right and the shadows naturally fall to the left.

I'm convinced that the panorama is the best way to capture the essence of this particular sculpture. I was really in the middle of the sculpture. The view I got is very different from what you would get by backing up and taking a long view.

Interesting job on the stitching but I notice the rock shadows are not all going in the same direction. Did you mirror some of the shots to stitch them? Good colour intensity and nice clarity on the rocks.
