[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was made of 5 stitched images. Each of them was an HDR/tone-map image made of 3 bracketed exposures (of constant f/11 aperture; 1stop compensation; ISO100). Literally, I had took 15 RAW shots to make this 'super-wide' shot of the Mengkabong River of Tuaran, Sabah.

The vista overlooking the east was taken from the Sulaman Bridge, a famous local photographers' favorite spot to shoot beautiful morning sunrises. The mountain seen at far here is Mount Kinabalu.

RAW was processed using Pentax RAW Lab, HDR and tone-mapping was done in CS3.

The final result was a 25" x 43" detailed photo at 250dpi printing resolution for my personal large-format print collection.

Hello Ramadan,
Excellent nature shot. Beautiful sky. Nice colors. Good PP work and result. TFS - Regards - Adil.

Selamat paki, Ramdan.
Stunning colours in this beautiful picture.
You made a lot of work on it.
Maybe due to all that stitching, you for got to notice that the water is sloping down to the right ?
Second, The sharpness is boosted too much, which caused the noise in the water.
Worth to redo a few staps.?
Best regards,
Jan
