America's Barn, new edited version added 6/9

[dlanter]

AKA Moulton Barn. No trip to Grand Teton Nat. Park would be complete without this shot. I'm definitely a rookie landscape shooter but I had to try my hand at pano shooting. Except for stitching the 10 shots together no other editing has been done yet. I think I need to do some touch up of the color variation of the sky.

Looks very good Dan! I'd proudly hang it in my home if it was my shot.

Never get tired of this view! Well done!

Wow! I knew I should have gone wider when I was there. :)

Thank you Mike & Michael.

I did a little editing and would like to know what everyone thinks of this new version. First I cropped it for the dimensions that I want to print it at, 13 x 48. I adjusted levels & mid-tone contrast in PSE, slightly bumped the tone curve in Lightroom and added a gradient filter to try to even out the sky color. The sky color still isn't even especially the corners above the mountains, but I was having trouble getting it any better. I was outside earlier just to look at the sky color variations and I'm not sure if my limited abilities can get it any better.

So what do you think, does it look natural or does it need more attention.


Thanks for your opinions.

I like it! Pops a bit more and it seems to have lost some of the distortion. That will look very nice hanging on your wall.

I tried to do a pano of just the range when I was there. Never did get it looking how I wanted it to.

Very nice!

Thank you Michael, appreciate your input.

Dan,

I've seen lots of photos of this barn, but none like yours. Congrats on finding a different perspective that looks great! Your new version is an excellent, well balanced composition and the colors are magnificent. Wow!
