    Grand Idea, I think I'll try that.

    Thanks for the input.

    Amazing what a bit of tugging and pulling in Photoshop will do for you.

    Thanks for the nice comments.

    Great stuff Tom!

    I'm glad you got some nice color in the sky. We in Nor Cal. have had a lot of fog lately... I love the waves in the last photo.

    I knew I shot that area during Marc's print workshop!!

    But your image looks like one of someone who has shot this area a number of times, and knows how to do it very well indeed. Very nice.

    After looking at your Profile,it dawned on me who you are!! thumb.gif

    Here is the merger of the last two. I'm not so sure I like where the horizon falls in the frame, but otherwise I kinda like it. headscratch.gif What do you think?

    I like it but not as much as the first.

    This one's a bit too smooth and like you said, the horizon is not in the right
    place.

    The merged image is definitely better than either of the two before merging, but you're right, the image falls short of the mark for compositional reasons when merged. You could try cropping the bottom rock out, moving the horizon lower.
