hello! the mistake you made was before pressing the shutter release button... why? well, simple water doesn't go well with pano creating software. Why? Because it lacks difference in content. Anyway, on to the actual photo, it's quite nice. You could try to cut out the part which really bothers the eye (where the pano software couldn't find good spots to combine the pictures). And, also, try shooting at an exposure compensation of +3 - +7. It's easier to step down in exposure than to step up (i'm referring here at the quality loss). Waiting for a new pano image, and, remember, stay away from water! :) Cheers!

Actually, I think the biggest problem with water is not a lack of contrast or defining features, but the fact that it moves between exposures so there is no reference points for the pano software to grab onto. In terms of the blury section, if you have adequate overlap, you could try shifting the splice point - this might give the software better points to line up the adjoining images. Good luck with your next pano shots!

Did u make any mistakes in there?? I cant really see any as i'm not a professional.. hehe ^_^ From my view and the way i see it, it's actually quite good.. All the things are captured nicely in it, along with the sunset and clouds.. However, there's a problem with your sizing though.. WHole photo is too small.. hehe ^_^ UNless, that's the mistake?? haha =D

Looks real normal to most people. But I think there is a puff of smoke in the middle of the image close to the ship. Looks like the image has been digitally enhanced at some point. There's something amiss with that puff or cloud in the middle. Almost as if it's been pasted on if I zoom on the image closer. Also the shot could have been taken with a filter for twilight or dawn to enhance the image. But that's just my opinion. That all depends on what kind of camera you are using. But in a nutshell the shot is really cool. And I know you can do better next time. Photography is real cool but you really have to take so many shots to achieve the perfect one you are looking for. Cheers!

I'm sure you will get better shots as you practice more. As always I'm rooting for you to be the best you can be. Let us all know about your future shots soon. Cheers!

As for the size, did you shrink it just to post it to the internet? I think it is great shot and I like the colors too. Maybe needs to be a little brighter. Maybe have a lower shutter speed or larger aperature. Or maybe increase the film speed some.

you are right about i should have adjust the shutter and aperture.

Maybe you could have used a slower shutter speed to bring in more light or a larger aperature. Maybe even increased the film speed.

yeah may be i should have done that. it wouldn't be when i try masking them together. by the way i don't know stuffs about film cameras what is the equivalent of film speed in digital cameras?

Nice composition; too small to really pick faults, but it looks like you maybe changed the exposure or focus between shots; there looks to be a soft-fuzzy merge area just ob=ver and to the right of the larger ship.
