This, is, absolutely, stunning!!! What a beautiful place so close from Auckland suburbia.

Spot on. Not sure about the 'black box' though :)

This is really nicely exposed and composed, but there's a couple of points on either side of the frame where you can see it was merged. The left side has a slightly darker exposure, and both sides don't quite line up in a couple of locations. Nothing a bit of skewing and cloning shouldn't fix though.

What programme did you use to stitch these together?

You have a good eye christofurr. I didn't even spot that. I guess that's the difficulty with stitching things that are moving. Nevertheless, it's quite a stunning image.

I'm such a fuss pot with my own photos it often spills over to other peoples too. The challenge is pointing things out without upsetting other people! Hopefully I don't come across that way around here as it's never the intention. I always like it with people point out flaws, no matter how small in my work rather than just saying "Nice photo".

I'm not a digital shooter so never do much merging, but I'm pretty sure there's some programmes out there that cater more towards panorama making. Sorry I can't be much help, but hopefully someone else around here will have a better idea. But for Photoshop generally (alot of annoying!) skewing, lining up and cloning etc can make things virtually perfect.

wow amazing,
the rocks in the centre really fill the photo aswell.
black box is just a bit annoying.

Picture is nicely composed and im loving the colours, everyone has all ready commented on the merging so no need to comment there, were there any filters used for this?

I tried to make the merging right. Is it better?

all looks good apart from the left most join, needs a bit of a stretch and the left most image needs its exposure bumped a little to match the others. Try PTGui, its really good and automatically balances exposure and things.
