Nice shot Kathy - I followed the conversations with interest as I just have started to try to do panos and still have a lot to learn!

Well, I've been conversing via PM, and it turns out mine is pretty bad where I added stuff. I'm going to have to start over, I think.

I was at Horseshoe Bend. My widest angle wasn't wide enough. I ended up taking a shot of each side of the horseshoe, planning to combine them. My first merge, I allowed LR to take care of the excess space. It didn't work too well. So I did it again, then pulled it into PS and used the cloning tool to fill in around the edges. Here is my finished piece. My question is, is it good enough? When I print it, will it be obvious that it's fake? What should I have done differently?
When I do a pano I use the camera in a vertical position and overlap by about 1/4, taking as many shots as needed, more overlapping is better than less, and staring wide and ending wide on each side. I let LrC pull them together. I look for flaws in how it got stitched and correct any in PS. This can be done hand held or on a tripod, but the images need to be taken by a steady hand. This has worked for me many times.

I didn't take enough. So I ended up missing some elements just because of how it all got put together. Live and learn.
