Three Image Stitch


This is the three image stitched version of the previous post, slightly different framing and with the addition of Guinness, our Humane Society black lab. To give you an idea of resolution, in the full size version 6500X5100 pixels (about 34 megaxixels), you can see the braiding on the dog's collar. We both had a great day, though he sure had a lot less trouble hoofing it up those steep canyon sides. Must have been the backpack....

Of the two, I vote for the version including Guinness. I like both - the first one you posted somehow reminds me of old BW photos of the west taken in the 1800. (And I mean that it a good sense.) However, Guinness provides a focus, both visual and emotional, this I don't see in the first version.

NIce work.

I find myself really drawn to this version George,and possibly not just because of the inclusion of Guinness, there! I think that the slightly darker area on the left really helps to balance the whole thing up, and the crop ratio seems to fit with the content in a way that I find my eye going comfortably round from each area to the next without tripping over at the edge of the frame. A gorgeous image...

I did a duplicate layer then edited out Guinness and prefer the image with him in the scene.
