Details are crisp, and the colors are vivid, but not unpleasantly oversaturated. This is a wonderful representation of the season's colors.

Usually I'm not overly impressed by wide panoramas, as I often find them a bit visually disorienting. But I like this one because the flanking foreground trees very effectively create an overall balance within the composition and draw my attention toward the center, right into the valley.

A beautiful view.

For me, Big Guy, I think it feels chopped off in the foreground. The verticals need to be fixed, but mostly I would like to more foreground and less sky. I think in order to do that you would need different light. The foreground looks to be in shadow. Did you take vertical shots to create this? That gives you more room in your pano.

I would agree with you IF you liked looking at chain link fencing foreground which is just below the bottom. I mean blatant, in your face fencing very hard to clone out.

(not to mention the absolutely clueless pro photogs with their tablets and cell phones that just walked right in front of me and the other time lapse guy on my right. I even had one jerk that sat there cell phoning this, pondering, then cell phoning that, pondering etc. I finally asked him if I would have to pay him modelling fees. After a couple seconds he quickly turned and stated "NO" then continued with his project.)

I normally shoot verticals but in this case the foreground fence and too much sky dictated a horizontal approach.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I get it, big guy .. look at my 500px. A few photos back I have posted a pano I took from a swinging bridge in the pouring rain, trying to manual focus with my rain sleeve on and with people coming across the bridge steadily. Because the trusses of the bridge were in my frame, I couldn't do vertical shots either, but I did find a stitching method to get rid of the trusses without losing that middle rock porting and without one bit of cloning. I stitched with the new Lightroom pano function. One thing that's really cool about that is that you still have your CR2 file after the stitch.
