SIS day 23 The Michener Building
This building was part of the Michener Centre which dealt with mental health issues and had quite a bad reputation for how the patients were treated some years ago. The building caught fire a short time ago and stood derelict for a time but now it has been refurbed and is back in use by Alberta Health services.

I love this shot, Irene. But with regards to your question, my instinct is that a composite image, which stitches together seven different images, is outside of one of the basic parameters which Matt outlined at the beginning of this Challenge-- namely, a single image per day. Of course, this gets us into philosophical and semantic questions, and those are deep waters which I don't feel capable of navigating or even truly understanding. Also, many of us (I suspect most of us) have done at least a little processing or manipulation to various photographs before posting them in one of the SiS threads, and one of the classic ways of creating a wider or panoramic image does involve stitching multiple shots together. As I said, I really love your image - but I'd also like to hear Matt's take on this interesting question you've raised.

We've had "created" images entered before - and hardly anyone does SOOC anyway. But you're right in suspecting that a panoramic composit like this is certainly borderline with regard to the rules. Yes, the image was created on the day in question, and it was posted regularily; actually, if Irene hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known that it was stitched; that's why I'm fine with it, given this level of transparency. However, the "single shot" idea *is *important - it forces all of us to look differently, to seek out opportunities to fulfil the assignment we devoted ourselves to.
So, while I don't think any semantic problem arises on the presentation end (it's one image, after all), it's definitely not a single shot - which basically seems to go against the rules of the challenge. However, the images were intentionally shot in order to create a single panoramic image - so, in essence, it is a single image, even though it is a composite.
But I'd definitely be happier if everyone did try to stick with single shots from beginning to end, no overlays ("double exposures" or similar) and stitching.

I have done some focus stacking which I mentioned in the photo I took but will try and adhere better to the intent of the challenge , tbh I am using the challenge as more of a excuse to experiment with technique which most of them bear witness too
