 Shot this on my way to work this morning. Almost didn't stop because of time, but glad I did. The pictures turned out better than I expected. Decided to put the two together as a diptych after I looked at them tonight.

Love the fog and the landscape. Wonder if splitting this into four panels will make the center split less of a problem.

I love the landscape and the low lying fog. The white line seperating them is very distracting.

A beautiful scene but I am not fond of the separating line.

cool shot and great combo. that fog makes the light diffuse in such a great way.

Ok, the problem is that I didn't actually shoot the sun in either picture - just to either side, so blending into a panorama doesn't really work. I guess I could try making something up in ps that will fit. I could clone in the center strip and see what that looks like. Thanks for your honesty about this attempt. I appreciate your comments. It's all trial and error for me.

Very fine. Did find the centre line intriguing at first (suggestive of sun's path or that stripe you get on your lcd aiming at a light source); mostly agree with sfalicehere; but you might play with colouring the two divisi strips to blend the sun's slightly different hues. Not getting too much of the foreground on my monitor or at this size, but the balance and composition work very nicely indeed.

The scene is wonderful, glad you stopped, but I agree with sfalice, the line in the middle is not working.

Lovely sunrise and great colors. Forgive me if I say the diptych idea is, well, less than successful here. The stark white line in the middle of the very pretty composition is just startling and (IMO) doesn't add anything to the beauty of the scene. If you really wanted separations, perhaps a triptych would be the way to go, but a simple panoramic would be just exquisite here.
