Holyford River, South Island new Zeland.

Rather amazing that photomerge will work with moving water to create a panorama.

We must have staked out the same spot, Nineyards. Mine was taken on September 23rd, 2014, at 3:33 P.M. It's a nice locale for taking pictures. It appears wild and wooly but is actually quite civilized. You really have to watch the tourists.

Two versions of the same picture. Looking across Vermilion Lake (Banff NP) toward Mount Rundle to the right and Tunnel Mountain to the left.

Two monochrome versions of a picture I posted some time ago in colour. I think I prefer the colour version, but I don't mind either of these. The scene is of Lake Minnewanka near the town of Banff, AB.

I'm a sucker for the reverse vignetting found in your toned down sepia version. I'm only "disturbed" by the item at the lower left, but that's a minor thing. The old age look that sepia brings, gives a warm feeling to your scenery.

Thanks, DD. I did consider the rocks in the lower left quadrant of the picture. I know they may be thought a distraction by some, perhaps most. I thought of removing them, but I actually like them. For me, they're an integral part of the picture. Possibly a semi-conscious nod to the imperfections embedded in life. An aesthetic/psychological response to my mood, perhaps. I suppose this is one of those times when breaking the rules of composition works for me, even if not for anyone else.

Another sepia picture of Lake Minnewanka from a slightly different POV. There're no distracting objects this time. I posted the colour version earlier, but this one works for me, too.

I've decided to remove the rock pile from my previous posting.

I prefer this version. Well done dpc.

Thanks. I may prefer it, too, but I don't mind the other one. Part of the issue, I suspect, is my natural tendency to go against the grain.
