That looks like a good shot, but don't be alarmed ... (show quote)
Thank you, Jack. Several in our group had really wide angle lenses, so I'd be really curious to see what they got. I didn't try using my cell, as I was afraid I'd drop it! One of the interesting things was that they all seemed to be enamored of early morning light and were talking about going there in the early AM. I kept telling them it wouldn't be good because you have to wait until the light gets over the cliff (both east and west) to get good shots (I think). I've been there too late in the day, and it's pretty yucky. I've never been gutsy enough to hang over the cliff to get a shot because I'm always there by myself. This time I actually did walk to the very edge. The railing they've installed is a great security blanket. The rise to the west makes for a nice picture also. I've never climbed up on the rise to the east. I'm not that steady on my feet, and it's always full of people and children.

Very nice work, Kathy.
The only critical suggestion I'd have is the foreground/sky ratio. There wasn't much happening in the sky. Therefore, I'd have included just a touch more of the foreground. That would have provided a nice complete curve of the river at the bottom of the photograph.

Thanks, Bob. I really appreciate your comment. I couldn't get any actual foreground except for the ledge I was standing on. And you know I like sky. I admit that nothing is happening in the sky except for some contrails. I went back and looked at all my single shots. I do have some with the ledge included at the bottom. I simply don't have the guts to hang out over the ledge to shoot so as to actually get the river bank at the bottom. To be honest, I've never even SEEN the riverbank at the bottom! I think it would take a drone to get it. I do agree that the river needs to be "closed" at the bottoms. One of my artist friends says not closing it allows the water to "run out."

Having been there, it looks good to me!
Thank you. It's so picturesque, but so difficult to get that perfect image.

Looked at it closely in DDL and could not see anything that indicated to me you had stitched multiple images together. Nice job.
Thank you. I am depending on the eagle eyes of Hoggers to advise me on this one.

Here is one I took using an 11-24mm lens at 12mm on a full frame camera to give you an idea of what a wide angle would accomplish. Also, you can see it was taken at sunset to give you an idea of the lighting.

Probably. I think I should have taken one in the center instead of just the two sides. At the bottom center I ran out of real estate. But when you shoot a straight picture, you sort of also run out of real estate because it's so straight down. At least I got more of the surroundings, which is what I wanted. I was concerned that my cloning work in PS wasn't perfect and would look too obvious.
The latest version of LR has added a "content aware" type cloning tool that is very helpful.

If you open in photoshop then hit the "F" key twice you will see your image without any distractions. Now you can hit command and the + key to blow up the image and move it around. I think as a large print you will be disappointed in the cloning on the right side.
If mine I would...
Open in photoshop
Add a blank layer
Have your Background layer active. Use the lasso tool and circle about 20% of the right side but don't include any water.
Now copy that area (Command C) then move to your empty layer and paste (Command V)
Now use the Transform tool (Command T) Hold the shift key and pull the right side to stretch it out to cover the needed area.
Next add a mask. Use a soft Black brush and go around the left and bottom edges. This will blend the edges seamlessly.
If you would like I will do this and send you results by Personel Message.

Thanks, Mike. I'm afraid my version of LR is quite old. It does a pretty good job.

Thanks, Jim. I'll try that. And if you could PM me your version, that would be wonderful.
