This is 5 stitched HDR shots. Inspiration by Matt. I can see some imperfections in the stitching but my other option was to accept curvature on the bridge and/or the water. Please see Glenmore Dam on the Elbow River | Flickr - Photo Sharing! for an example shot the previous day. Comments appreciated.

This was shot similarly just before the previous shot, but processed with HDR Efex Pro. Stitched using Panorama Maker 6 which maintains the curvature distortion.

The curvature distortion is a good trade imo - that first stitch was too visible.
I kind of like the 2nd on as well. The wider field of view sort of helps make the curvature more like it is supposed to be there....if you know what I mean?
2nd for me as well. Very nice!
With a bit of PS work you could save that flat bridge shot I reckon but I like the curved version also.
Liking #2 as well. The curvature is cool. Also, is there fishermen on the left in the water?
I love the second one too.
Thanks for taking a look at these. Comments are very much appreciated. The red sunset colors really lasted a few minutes, so I was lucky to catch the second shot, being so busy taking the overlapping exposures. If you look at the full size image http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7295/1...3c64dda4_o.jpg you can see the two fishermen on the left and two people on the trail on the right side of the image much more clearly.
Yup that second one is outstanding.
