Sunset condensed pano

1k-0433-35#3a-dec
This was the surprise of the series. I had made my panorama (previous in the photostream) my desktop wallpaper. The sofware compressed the pano into a typical 3 by 4 ratio shot. What resulted was an increase in information in the "squished" space. Squished is a technical term, by the way. =^) Try it large, there are some interesting rain forms at the bottoms of the clouds.

No, it didn't actually LOOK like this: 1st, it's compressed horizontally. 2nd, I modified the levels (especially light and dark areas) to bring out the color. If you look at the more ORANGE sunset, that's more like it really looked. Even then, I had my camera on the CHROMA setting, which gives a more saturated tone to the photo.
