I need a way to see my candidates in one place together to pick a favorite (for another thread), so here they are:

Very good set.
The winery pano would be my choice.
Thanks. I like that one, too (obviously, it was a candidate). The day was just terrible for photography and I'm amazed I was able to do that well.

I loved the geometry of that shot, but the stitching was a little iffy at the right (wind blew the leaves, I guess).
ETA, I was surprised to see I captured flying birds at both ends of the Monterey Bay pano.
Quite a selection to choose from. Lone Cypress would be my choice (but I'd want to clone out the sensor spots
).
Lone Cypress is my favorite.

I just looked, and I apparently do have a version with most of them removed:

Being a bit obsessive I'd probably want to get rid of all of them
. The bigger ones might be spray on the lens.

Or they might be distant rocks in the fog.... (I see 2 spots in the foreground that might be suspect, but I have no idea how they could be removed. Finding a "clone" to match would be very difficult.) It was lightly raining, so drops on the lens could have happened.
I very much like your images and do not wish to inflame nor insult you. It appears there are sensor spots in my of your shots. I had the same thing on a series of 70 shots from Zion. It took a while, but I was able to take them away and then cleaned my sensor.

I appreciate the advice, but don't know how to clean the sensor (or if I should even attempt it myself). There is a reputable camera shop not too far away--I'll ask them to check it.
Regarding the spots in my photos, if I were trying to sell them I'd probably be more concerned about them. Photography is just a hobby for me, and a way to preserve my travels so I can relive them. If others also enjoy them, I'm fine with that. I doubt I'll go to the considerable trouble, though, of examining all my pictures for sensor spots and removing them. In my later years I have attempted to remove the most obvious ones.
I also appreciate it that you enjoy my images. Thank you.
I was going to say #2 then I saw #10 and #13 - beautiful work!
