I need a skilled Photoshop artist to combine elements from several different images into one seamless panoramic mountainscape for print. The final image will be used for a metal print.

The idea is to use the skyscape/background from the darker panoramic image, where there are more colors and the sky looks less washed out. And to use the foreground from the brighter panoramic image to create a shot with better definition on the details of the mountains. If possible without creating blending errors or inconsistencies, I would like to add the alpenglow from the two tall mountains on the right (plus the alpenglow lighting on the background mountains on the right side of the image) into the final panorama. If it is not possible to blend those because the alpenglow photos were taken from a slightly different position, then I’d rather not add that element and just blend the two panoramic images.

These photos were taken by me on my iPhone from the summit of Cerro Pollone in Patagonia outside of El Chaltén after spending 2 days approaching the peak and 24 hours rock and ice climbing to summit this peak at sunrise.

I previously commissioned this project to a friend, but they didn’t create a final product that I am happy with and now they don’t have time to help anymore. I uploaded their image as “COMPOSITE.jpg”. Here are the problems with it: 1. They did not add the alpenglow to the tall mountain on the right (Cerro Piergorgio). 2. They did not add the natural alpenglow to the background peaks so it looks unnatural that there is direct light on the foreground/second-from-the-right tall peak (Cerro Torre), but not the peaks behind it. 3. There is a major blending error just to the right of the peak that has alpenglow on it (Cerro Torre), which would be immediately noticeable to a climber who has been in the range and is looking at this picture on a large metal print of this photo. Feel free to use their image as the base file and fix these issues.

Requirements:
- Blend the foreground and background images smoothly
- Maintain a natural look and color consistency
- Have an understanding of how light behaves at sunrise and ensure consistency over which mountains receive direct sunlight and which do not

Essential Elements:
- From foreground images: Must include mountains, not have any inconsistencies between layers, as these will be immediately noticeable to someone who knows what these mountains look like
- From foreground images: Must understand where first morning light/alpenglow would hit on mountains using photos taken from a slightly later time, and blend mountains with alpenglow into foreground seamlessly
- From background images: Must include sky and clouds

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop
- Experience with landscape photography editing
- Strong attention to detail
- Ability to create high-resolution images suitable for large prints

Additional details:
- Budget capped at $200
- First draft by Oct 6; target final by Oct 10, with flexibility if needed
- Allow 2–3 revision stages to correct inconsistencies/blending issues
- Final image must be print-ready for metal printing
- Left side of the existing composite is already approved and should be used as-is
- Main work is on the right side, especially the far-right and background mountains, which need accurate direct sunlight/alpenglow
- Fix the specific problem area shown in the client’s attached reference image
- Ensure seamless, error-free blending, particularly in the foreground mountains
