You can't take the watermarks off once you chose them, I have asked Tom about it before :(
This is really gorgeous Cleo. You put a great deal of work into it and it has really paid off. Your stitching is seamless. This looks very natural--like a perfectly painted work of art by nature itself! Lighting is magical. This will make an amazing backing for one of your fantasy pieces sometime too!

    Thank you very much!!! You never know how much this review and all the stars coming from you means to me.
    Thank you for overlooking that watermark. Yes, I know now. Tom told me the same. My mistake. The problem is that the rezised post is just not high enough. In order to archive the Requirements of FAR I had to rezise to 700 x 147. That is why the watermark covers the picture. Well I have learned a lesson.

    I've been having trouble with the watermark causing my images to look soft--so I've stopped using them altogether. But really the watermark does not prevent the beauty of this to show through.

    I never liked that watermarks anyway. I tought I had it removed; but once again I must have clicked the wrong tab. The entry page is a pain for somebody with bad eyes like me. Not to long ago I put accidentally a landscape in Nudity, but at least I was able too correct that to Nature.
    Thanks again :-)

What a beautiful scene and such a reward for all your hard work. Lynne would give all she had (except not me, I hope!) to live in an area like yours. It still seems strange to us to see the sun rise over the ocean. Neither of us has been on the east coast of anywhere. Great job Cleo.

    Thank you very much for your review and for overlooking my horrible mistake not to remove the watermark before posting. [Tom from FAR informed me the watermark has to be removed before the posting. Once it is posted it can't be removed.]
    I know a Sunrise over the ocean seems strange for anyone, but the people who live in areas were it happens. I am often complimented on ...that beautiful sunset...even when the title says sunrise.
Comment from corrinas creations


This is a beautiful panoramic shot, love those midnight blues and the sky is just wow. I have no idea how its achieved but its very impressive! You can opt for the watermark feature when you post something but I dont think you can remove it once posted.

    Thank you verry much, Corinna! Especially thanks for overlooking my mistake. You are right. Tom wrote me the watermark can't be removed after posting.

    Thank you! You are so supportive. You know what your approval means to me. Thank you also for overlooking my horrible mistake of not removing that watermark before posting. Cleo
Comment from pzoette


Hi Cleo. This may have been difficult (believe you strongly!) but it looks effortless. To me that is a sign of accomplishment. I love the gentle arc of light...the fact that the beams do not seem to emanate from the sun but another spot...the muted palette...

But it is the arcs that call to me. They, I think, make this worth the time and effort of stitching together a panorama.

I cannot post private email anymore and this is my last night but I also want to thank you for your support and feedback...and for sharing your lovely work. If I can follow your work elsewhere please let me know: zstavri@gmail.com

    Thank you very much for your lovely and understanding review. You made my day!
    So sorry you quit. We will miss you.

    Hope I can see your work somewhere. :) but I don't know your name so please do write if you have a site. Promise not to stalk :)

    I think these types of works are underappreciated in terms of complexity. I also do not think every scene warrants the time and energy you had to apply to get this pulled together. HOWEVER, even in this little thumbnail I see the majesty that would have been lost otherwise.
Comment from Anne


I bet this is gorgeous the way you have put all these pictures together. The way you have so much in it would be beautiful if you could see it all. This is a case where the logo takes away form your picture. It takes up almost half of the picture. If only you had not put it on this one.

    I know and agree! The watermark is horrible. I didn't want it! But it showed up. I even did go back to the entry page, tried to get it of, but I can't find any way to do it. I contacted FAR and ask them how I can get that logo deleted, but I got no answer. I is a shame, but I have to delete it what would keep me from posting it again for the contest and in general. All that work for nothing, but it isn't of any value for me if I get reviews only on that horrible watermark, I did not ask for, because nobody is able to see my picture. Sorry, I should not have written that and bother you, but I am upset and needed someone to listen. Sorry it was you!
reply by Anne on 08-Apr-2012
    cleo, change the name of the picture and submit it again and just be sure the logo is not there. I made that mistake once and Tom said once it is on there that you can;t get it off. It is upsetting I know because I have been there..

    Thank you again. OK, I must have clicked on the wrong tab again. That entry page is too hard to see. A wile ago I tought I had nature clicked, but It came out as nudity. At least I was able to change that.

Well, my opinion of this fantastic Panoramas of 12 shots and your photography work stands out so real as though one is viewing the sky in the natural.

You enhancement is superb to say the least.

I would love to see more of your work and marvelous jobs.
