Ray, is that line/streak down the center of the image a camera problem? What is that?

You have got a keen eye. Thanks for pointing that out.

That was me being sloppy with my editing. I think that's a free transform selection line left over from a clumsy attempt to straighten a pillar. I should have just rotated a crop of the image, as below.

Glad it's not a crack in your sensor.

Here is the original scene from which I transposed the monk to your more appropriate environment on the jetty by the river.

As he gazes upon those tourists he's probably thinking, how foolish they are. In a few years time, they'll start suffering from ill-health and the consequences of obesity, lack of exercise and overindulgence. They'll be worried about the size of their pensions, the loss of their possessions, the future of their grandchildren, the ravages of climate change plus a whole raft of concerns they can do nothing about.

On the other hand, he could be thinking, "What am I doing here, watching the world pass by. I could be driving these tourists around in a Tuk Tuk, making lots of money and having a good time."

Don't ask me what that foot is doing in the bottom right corner.

Nah. He's thinking, "Last time I tried to levitate across the pool to the MacDonalds over there, I fell in half way. Will leaving one foot behind lighten the load so I can get all the way across? Or should I leave both feet here?"

Joke aside, I think you might be confusing Indian Yogi Fakirs with Buddhist monks, Eric. Also, there's no McDonald's across the pool (yet ), just 1,000 year old ruins. The pool is actually part of a moat approximately 1 mile on each side, which surrounds the temple.

I mention it just for the record, although I know you are attempting humour .

What? Not even a Starbucks? I'm shocked!

From the back I couldn't tell whether he (she?) was a Fakir or a Monk. In any case, that foot removal trick is pretty clever.

I haven't removed the foot, yet. The imnage is uncropped and uncloned.

I'm not sure if this shot is worth printing. It's a real problem sorting through the thousands of images one has.

[attachment=7828:attachment]One of a few images captured of the Local Town Hall as part of a project. Roughly 20 images stitched together using PT Gui.

Good, straight edges. I wonder if Autopano Pro could do that automatically. Did it require a lot of work in PT Gui?

I suppose one is slightly disappointed there is no audience and performers, but that would have probably made a good stitch impossible.

Indeed it would have looked interesting with an audience but unfortunately this venue won't allow photography when there are performers.

After processing the images in PTGui I did have to straighten the edges slightly in PS using the Warp feature but I've just tried stitching it in Autopano Pro and it came out automatically with perfectly straight edges.

I really like the interface in PTGui but the more I use Autopano Pro the more I'm impressed with it. Many panos that won't stitch together in PTGui turn out beautifully with Autopano.

A recent photo I took at a friends wedding. The little girl kept hiding when she seen the camera

Taken with a 1Ds III with a 50mm 1.2L.

When I look at this image, taken a few weeks ago on the Daintree, North Queensland, the Hunchback of Notre Dam sprang to mind.

I'm not sure what the species is (I'm not a twitcher ), but friends have suggested it's a Rufus Night Heron, but it sure wasn't night when I took the shot, although the lighting wasn't good and ISO 1600 was required.
