Nice first try on a Pano. There are a few minor problems, none of which distract from the image itself.
I enjoy shooting pano of anything which catches my eye. On some of the shoots, I will plan just how I will do it, but most are spontaneous shots of something I see.
I myself still have problems when stitching images. Most are with scene subjects which are in the foreground and close to the camera.
But I improved and you will also.
It is still a good panorama shot...one I probably would have taken the time to shoot myself.

What issues do you see...so I know what to look for and fix. It's still a learning process here. :)

It may be just the way the scene looked, but on the left side near the top, there appears to be a branch hanging from nowhere. Just to the left of the evergreens in the center is a small whitish tree which also has a what appears to be a branch from nowhere. In between the two evergreens is what looks to be a seam from the stitching process. There is an area of what looks to be from a different tree showing. It appears to have come from a tree in the distance where the seam cut off the right side of the tree and retained the left side.
They are minor distractions, but I really enjoy taking panos and always look for similar problems in my shots.
One recent pano of mine is below. I liked the cloud formation and took nine images (had the 70-300 on the camera) to stitch together. If you look in the lower right area, there is half a car. During the stitching process, the left side image covered the front of the car and left the rear half of the car. I can easily fix the problem, but the main subject was the clouds formation.
Also, on the lower left side of the image, there is a goal cage. Close examination of the bar going across the top shows a break in the stitch with the right side higher than the left.
Since I shot those images handheld, I evidently dipped my camera slightly when I moved to the right for the next image. It would have been much easier for me if I had a tripod, but I generally don't carry my tripod when I out on a walking safari.
I generally try to keep close-in foreground objects out of my panoramas unless I have the tripod and the camera set on the nodal point. I've only shot one panorama with that setup.
Shooting panoramas is fun and can produce some fantastic images. I am no pro at it, but I do tend to be very critical about my panoramas.
Your panorama is really nice and as I mentioned before, the minor problems I saw (and they might just be broken branches hanging on other branches) don't distract at all from the final product.
