No 3 for me. It's a beaut. It looks fine IMO.

Paul,
The third is less 'busy', it's clear and it's sharp. I can see why it caught your eye.

No.1 - Contrast is a bit high. Yachts are a bit too white, and deep water is a bit too dark. Otherwise, great composition and technical skill.
No. 2 - OK, but get rid of that yacht growing from the middle of the ferry.
No. 3 - Leave the sky and water alone, but include more to the right and much more to the left in the photo.
No. 4 - Crop out the sky altogether, and put the focus on the staggered row of yachts, top to bottom.

I love all those wonderful southern hemisphere blues... I like the alignment of yachts in 4 but my favourite is no.1

I really like number 1, and the contrast doesn't look too high on my monitor but it uncalibrated and not very good! Looking at it large it might be a tad too high. What does the histogram look like?
With the last one I wonder if a square crop with the bottom three yachts might work? Perhaps clone out the buoy and the motorboat? It works as it is, just playing with ideas as ever.
Nice to see some sun!
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks for the input all.
I just used photoshop (CS3) to merge the images in small batches (about 5 or 6 at a time) then saved them and then did a final merge with all the saved smaller merges and flattened.
Then cloning for the easy bits like echos and cutting and pasting back in from the original images for the more tricky bits. like the longer boat trails.
The oringinal images where shot at 2 MPs though to make it a little easier for my laptop.

Its the same for the first, I think thats a great shot, how did you managed to get everything still in the frame when stiching as the boat white bits, are they called wakes? must have been hard to line up :
What software are you using to stich all the images together then :

Frenchs Forest,

View straight accross the water to Sydney city ( A multiple shot panorama of about 30 images stitched together and processed in Photoshop to reduce the haze)

The Manly Ferry (Another panorama but this time not as many shots, only about 10 and you can see the haze in this one)

Two boats, the red colour of the R/H one caught my eye, but I cant decide whether to crop out the sky or the ocean

Finally a view out in to the ocean with a big container ship on the horizon.
