Yeah I agree with you there Mike. The panorama on reflection looks a bit.....squashed in the sky in relation to the falls.

Side by side the sky in the pano has more of a purple hue which I don't like as much.

I have to agree with you about the purple hue to the pano Carlos. I have actually since reprocessed that one to bring it more in line with this one but have not released it yet.

Yeah I know what you mean, especially on a moonless night in a nice dark location. I don't like doing composite images like this, but I felt that I had to do the location justice. The only ways I could have done this in a single shot was either with some light painting (which I tried but couldn't get the look I wanted) or with the "magic glove" technique which can be a bit hit and miss. I would have tried that but I was starting to have issue with the light water spray off the falls on my lens and needed to get the data I wanted in a hurry.
