This panorama is stitched from two horizontal shots. I used different exposure times on both shots here due to the direct light from the rising sun on the left shot, and finally adjusted the colors & brightness mostly on the right shot to make it as close as possible to the left one:

Left shot: ISO125 F22 1/13s

Right shot: ISO125 F22 1/8s

Excellent shot, in all aspects: composition, light, perspective etc. Personally I would have applied a different white balance, but this is just a matter of taste.

A great effort in joining the two photos and a wonderful composiiton with the dynamic waves balanced by the clouds in the sky. I am just bothered by the overexposed sun and the lens' sunstars which make it unnatural. However, I must admit it would be technically very challenging to get that right. I am amazed at f22 the sharpness is still quite good.

Beautiful

This is a gorgeous panorama and you've done a superb job of stitching them. I think the sun flair gives you a point of interest and I really like the way they extend out so far as it gives more depth and 3 dimensionality to the photo. I also really like the reflection off the rocks to the right. Overall I would say this is a superb photo.
