The two versions are similar, but there are indeed differences. The easy answer to your question is that I wanted more 'real estate' left and right, and the only to get it without substantially altering the perspective and the placement of the elements was to do the pano. The attached should show what I mean.
I don't see your question as being argumentative in the slightest. Quite the opposite, and thanks for asking it. Apart from the extra work/time it took to make 11 exposures @ 1/80th -vs- one exposure @ 1/80th, and the minute or two of extra work it took Lr to stitch the pano, I didn't spend any more time or effort on the pano than I did the single exposure shot. And between the two, the pano satisfies me more.

Great stuff here as usual. My question is did you know you were going to get when you started or were you hopeful? Did you plan this exact comp and the number of multiple images or did you realize you could get it after you took all the photos.
I knew what the result would be before making any of the exposures. Others might do this sort of thing differently, but my normal method is to 'see' the whole then shoot however many overlapping shots as it may take to capture what I ultimately want. Its really pretty simple.

I sometimes question this also. Glad you did the background work to ask the question. But since I've never been truly successful at doing this, I do question the action.

I think its good to question things sometimes. Doing so often leads to answers, and sometimes those answers answer questions that weren't necessarily asked. Asking often enough, and arriving at enough answers can streamline the process and make it quicker, pretty immediate in fact (or fancy), maybe to the point that some questions need less asking because the answers are already at hand.
I think it works with photography, too. Maybe its like adopting a Zen approach without having to be Zenny or woo-woo about much, questions or answers alike.

Thanks for the insight. I still don't do much in the way of post processing but learning slowly. I do know enough to know that the possibilities are almost endless. I guess it depends on #1 vision and #2 how much time you are willing to spend on the computer.
In this case, the time spent was obviously worth it and I, for one appreciate it.

Another outstanding image Jim ... that is truly a piece of art IMHO ... one worthy of hanging on any wall. Thanks for sharing.

Thanx for explaining, Jim. Figured you would have a good reason that I just didn't see. Again, I admire the effort and the results very much. I'm just too lazy to put forth the effort now.
