Badlands Digital

More from the badlands, this time three horizontal shots from a 10D, stitched with PTGui. Although there were parts of the image that worked, the dark grass in the upper right, and the rocks in the lower right didn't balance what was on the left.

A combination of cropping and 'filtering' and lightening the grass with an extreme curve and dodging the rock highlights gave things better balance. Akvis Enhancer seemed to further balance tones while increasing local contrast.
