LOL, oh my gosh. I was having trouble posting my comment and the page never finished uploading on my computer so I just logged off and turned off my computer. I guess I tried one too many times. Sorry José.

Thanks atothev. You’re right. To get the whole lake in "one" picture I had to stitch 11 shots! I didn't post it here because I was not really satisfied with the results. Although I used the stitch mode of the camera (that locks the exposure), you can tell where each picture was stitched because of the different color tones of the sky. Can someone suggest me how to avoid this?

José, I don't mind at all. I think you captured it very well. Even though it is such a beautiful area it can be hard to get it all in one picture. This is a very good representation of Lago de Atitlan.

Excellent, I've just discovered I looked at the "large" image, and not "original".

Hi Stanislav.
Thanks for your comments. I replaced the picture. I think I over-sharpened the previous one (I guess my eyes were very tired last night, and I didn’t notice it). Is this one better? (this is the best quality I can save it without going over the 150K limit).

Interesting view, but the colors and details are suffering too much from JPEG compression. Try increasing the JPEG quality, so that the image fits into 150k limit.

To atothev: I hope you don't mind that I posted a similar picture from Lake Atitlán, but since your picture is in the Exhibition gallery, I think we're not competing against each other. :)
