interesting....no exif so you must have "saved for web" or some other version of saving the original photo.

one problem might be is that you should try and overlap the photos more...Thats a lot of land to cover on 3 photos.

other than that we cant tell much without the EXIF data.

Weird...
works perfectly on flickr.

Same data for all three pictures. I'm pretty sure Glen is right and when I turned, the light source came from a different direction and caused the light meter to change the WB? and threw them off.

Also, these are straight off the camera. I do not "save for web". I shoot in Raw+jpg mode.

That's weird man. I'll have to fool around on my own camera and let you know what I do to get the results. But I do know this. CS3 has a better blending mode than CS2.
 
^ there is the reason for the differences between each scene

Posting images from Flickr will remove the exif data.

Oh, didnt know that. also, if I dont use auto, the WB is usually weird or off.

Even when I use the settings (Daylight, cloudy, etc) it seems weird. I've never been good at choosing the right one.

I guess I have to re-read all my photography books. I guess I skipped the WB chapters. Most of them suggest leaving it on Auto WB.

I shoot in RAW and adjust the WB in post processing. Previously, I used a grey card when I shot JPG but it became a hassle. If you aren't shooting in RAW, try it once. It makes post processing much easier due to the range you have with the exposure and white balance.
 
2nd attempt is much more fluid. You might want to try using the dodge/burn tool on the cliff section on the left to darken it a smidge.

I'll try the dodge-burn thing. brb(wiggle)
 
why are you shooting landscapes in F2.8? that explains why the picture is very soft ;)

you should be using F8 - F11
 
what does a tripod have to do with that? your shutter speed was 1/1600 at iso 100, you can easily handhold a shot in that lighting even at iso 100

You are correct. I'll try stepping down (up?) the f/stop next time. Is f/10 enough to get a scene like that sharper?

I just state it just for the fact of levelling things out like the horizon and such so he doesn't have to mess around with the pictures more than he has to.

Nutari: F10 is plenty good. Might want to even go higher if you want.
