Too much contrast

You need to reduce the contrast in this image. The sun area is almost blown out, while the dark areas are almost black. Had you shot the shot the images as RAW, it would be easy to recover some of the highlights and the shadows.

I also suspect that you shot this image too early, when the sun was still too strong. In that case you should have choosen a shorter exposure time, to minimise the highlight blowout (other parts of the image then become black, but never mind).

One last thing, the left part of the image is blurred. I wonder if the camera focused properly?

Forgot to mention that the horizont is not horizontal.

BTW, what software did you use to stitch the images together?
