    Hi everyone,

    Panorama just before sunset at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington, Ontario. It was six vertical shots with the sun starting to set behind me. I've only stitched and started some basic editing so far. Need to lighten some areas and smooth some areas in the water where the waves had moved in between shots.. Anyway just thought I would post it here and see what you think!

    Good choice including the bay and the pier makes for a nice panorama

    I like the scene and the perspective. Personally, the distortion in the horizon would drive me crazy. But that's me. I straighten pictures.

    Contrary to popular environmentalist beliefs, this photo actually shows that sea levels might be falling. JOKE! Couldn't resist. Great panorama

    haha yeah the whole theme behind this was climate change, global warming etc. hahaha just kidding the horizon is one of the things along with smoothing the waves and adding some light in some areas that needs to be done as this is still in progress.

    However I am fairly new to panoramas, and am struggling to figure out the best method to straighten my horizon without throwing everything else out of whack. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks for the comments!

    I used the "shear" filter and then free transform on the top right corner. There's still a little curve but it's better than it was. If you post your original in "Fix This Photo" you might get better results ( :P You might also get some very creative results.)
