JetStar Coaster, Seaside Heights, NJ

[Heller716]

This is one of my first "panoramic" photos of the JetStar coaster in Seaside Heights. I merged the photos in CS4 after converting the .NEF into .DNG. That was the extent of my post processing as I am still learning the basics of photoshop. I plan on getting either Lightroom or Capture NX in the future.

Any C&C would be appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Not bad: I think some dodging / burning and selective enhancements to add some 'pop' to the background would help. I think some close-ups might work as well.

Thanks for the suggestions tirediron. The white water from the breaking waves look flat and washed out so I can try to darken those areas up a little bit as well as the tops of some of the breaking waves themselves. And what do you mean some close-ups? Focusing on only sections of the coaster instead of the entire one in separate images or somehow work pieces of that into the current photo.

Thanks again
