Challenge: Free Study 2010-04 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Pentax K10D
Lens: Pentax A 28 f /3.5-4.5 80mm MZ
Location: Strait of Gibraltar from Ceuta facing NW
Date: Apr 2, 2010
Aperture: f8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Panoramic, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Apr 21, 2010

 6 shots (5 useful) using a polarizing filter recording in RAW/DNG...converted to jpg in Lightroom and post-processed in AutoPano Pro...converted to tiff and cleaned in Noise Ninja...processed color/tone and exported from Lightroom in jpg to fit size requirements.
I realize that a panorama will not display well at such a small size. I decided to submit anyway because it turned out really well. The Strait of Gibraltar is almost never calm and clear as is demonstrated here. One can clearly see the approx. 15 nautical miles that separate Algeciras from Ceuta by following the wake left by the Fast Ferry (turning slightly to the right entering Ceuta harbor - not lens distorsion); two continents, three countries, and four cities are shown here with the curvature of the earth clearly visible. Left-to-right: Ceuta (Spanish African colony), Tarifa, Algeciras, and Gibraltar.

Stephen, except for rare exceptions (special rules), multiple exposures are not allowed in a challenge entry.

I'm sure this is much more impressive at a larger size!

Sweet picture. Obviously a victim of the sizing requirements. Did you consider possibly burning in the top left corner a bit? This would look awesome on the wall behind a bar.
