632 - Still Water

A panorama from 2004 that already had the right name! This is Robe Lake at Valdez, Alaska on a very quiet morning (I could hear the ducks and loons talking clear across the lake).

Sony DSC-F707, 10 vertical photos stitched.

Certainly does look quite still. . .and so peaceful! Must have been a joy to stand at this spot to experience all the sights and sounds of this scene. The pano comp works great to show the vastness of this scene and all the wonderful reflections. My only very minor thought would be to clone out the bit of contrail (I think?) from the sky in the left 1/3 spot.

Lovely look at a very peaceful scene with a near perfect reflection. Easy to imagine sitting there soaking in the sights and sounds.

If there is such a thing as spectacular tranquility, this is it. Glad you saw this epic view as a good candidate for a multi-frame pano with mucho megapixels!
