Full size pano is roughly 43000x11800 (508MP), about 95*H FOV.
I didn't know whether this forum preferred large images or not, so I'm sticking to 2190x600 so it fits well on one screen. Still need to take some blue out of the shadows and reduce some haze, but overall it's getting to the point where I'm pretty happy with it.

superb image and brings back very happy memories of a past visit. Thanks for sharing

is the peak in the middle of your pano the "Nose" of the El Capitan where the Huber Brothers from Bavaria did hold for some short time in 2007 the word record in speed free climbing the 1000m in less than 2 hours and 40 Minutes? (in 50/60ties? the first ascent took more than 40 days!)
(google for "huberbuam the nose"...)
PS: theres a really wonderful docu video "Am Limit" by Pepe Danquart about the 2 failing tries in 2006 and 2007 of the Huber Brothers wher only 3 hours 20 Minutes could reached.
Liebe Gruesse,
Georg

No, Georg, El Capitan is elsewhere. What you see in the middle of this image is Half Dome, viewed from its side.

It sure does bring back memories, I have visited Yosemite a couple of times in the late 80's and its was just fantastic - love that place!
You may want to play with your white balance, its definately a bit too cool the image, but a wonderful view

Henrik, are you looking mostly at the blue in the shadows, or at the rest of the image too? The shadows are excessively blue, but I need to fix that. The rest of it doesn't seem "cool" to me, but I'd like to see if you disagree. In any event, I'll tinker with it and see what I find. You might be right.

Hi Rodolfo,
I think the image is overall a bit too blue IMHO, and shadows very blue.
What white balance have you used?
I am not trying to critise you, particular white balance can be applied with intent, for various reasons. and you may have yours and wanting a particular look and feel for the scene.
I like the blue sky and the very white clouds, but it looks like it is 3-4pm or later but not near sunset, and the sun would slowly start to go a little more golden/warm. Therefore to me it should be a little warmer, its too cool.
Maybe its just me, having been used to the Australian Sun, and have forgotten the look of the sun in the northern hemispher
Just my $.02

No worries at all, Henrik... critique all you want. Disagreement is often when we learn the most if we are open to different views.
The blue in the shadows is too much, and simply a function of the different WB required for sunny versus shadowed areas at that time. The time is approximately 7pm, whereas the light got golden at about 7:45 and sunset is about 8:30 that night. I think -- note, I think -- that it's not a function of overall white balance but simply of removing all the excessive blue from the shadows and then removing the haze. Still, I will tinker with the white balance to see if warmer makes it better. Maybe your eye is better than mine, and I'd like to find out.

In Photoshop, if you add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, select the blue and then cyan channels from the pulldown and reduce the satruation to 0 in both, it's sertainly too much but you can see the extreme it will go to. Looks pretty good to me but full strength might be too much and you'll need to apply a layer mask to protect that sky unless you want it to go even darker due to the change.
