Alabama Hills Sunrise Lone Pine, CA

Composite of 9 images on tripod in the Alabama hills at sunrise. The challenge was to dodge and burn to bring out detail in the foreground rocks and plants and toning down the overexposed Sierras in the background. Nine source images are probably excessive, since you get the long and skinny final result.
The large mountain on the left is Lone Pine Peak. Mt Whitney is just to left of center, the fourth to the right of the teeth looking peaks.

Nothing wrong with 9 images - looks good. I did a hand held of the National Cemetery across the alley from where I live - 34 vertical images. PTGui said over 69000 pixels wide would likely be more than most PP programs would accept - suggested TIFF, so I did. Took close to 4 minutes to load; I'm using W7.1 Professional; agreed my processor not the fastest .

I actually like the long, skinny look. As a big sky guy, my only reservation is that you do not have enough sky. Would you consider adding more sky? Good result otherwise and thanks for posting.

I would have if there were any clouds in the sky. I have always felt that anything that does not bring texture or interest into your image should be minimized. Here is one of the component images as shot.
