This is a 3 image stitch that I put together through Canon's Photostitch. I added a warming filter in Photoshop along with a Nik Software filter called soft focus which gave the image the radiant glow. I then adjusted the contrast. The image was taken in the late moring here in Victoria, BC Canada.

I didn't think a 3 image stitch panorama was legal, but I suppose it's the same scene taken as if it was a wider lens.

The bench blends in with the vegetation imo. Re-composing from your left would have shown it better against the water.

I like almost every thing about your photo. But the bench gets lost in the bush. If you had moved to your left a few feet, it would have been totally silhoutted against the sky and I might have liked it better.

Looks like a beautiful scene. This might be a good candidate for an HDR image. The blown out sky and underexposed land just take up too much space in this shot.

Lovely shot, would be nicer if there wasnt a bush behind the bench so you couls see all the way through the slats. still a good one though!

I like the semi-panoramic approach to show the vastness. I kinda wish you might have moved a couple steps to the left to have the bench more open to the water (ie not have it's view blocked by the vegetation.)

what a nice shot

I would have been nicer if changed angles to avoid the tree/bush behind the bench.

Is that a giraffe on the horizon, center left? :)
nice sentiment

I like this picture but think if you had moved to the left another foot or twothe bench would have been more visible... Other than that, looks like a place I'd love to sit for a spell.

the bench gets lost in the background

I wish the bench would have been more visible - brush takes away form the bench - otherwise great picture

Nice photo. I would have liked it a bit more, if you could have gotten the bench at an angle where the trees (shrubs?) in the distance hadn't blended in with the bench. Normally I am not a fan of blown out highlights, but it really works here. Gives your image a painterly effect.

I don't understand why you wouldn't change your position a bit to the left so this bench was fully defined. For me t's a crippling defect in an otherwise truly promising image...
