First real planned dive into.....

Looking for realistic ( even if harsh ) opinion. This was my first real dive into landscape panorama photo in Joshua Tree National Park. Shot with Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 at 26 mm f9 1/2000 sec I SO 250. Thank you in advance for opinions.

Beautiful shot, was there in the Spring and it was very colorful. Did you do a little HDR on it?

Really nice shot. Took a look and think the stitching is seamless. The only thing that I think I would is either add a touch more image on the right side or have a touch less on the left side. Of course, that is only my opinion. And I feel adding rather than subtracting is the better way to go with this wonderful scene. This scene is a great choice for a panoramic treatment.

This was shot a week ago mid day. No HDR and no tripod. I will keep the little more wdross in mind next time. Hopefully I'll be able to take a tripod so can stretch it some. Thank you

I think this is a great starting point, and I really like the photo as is. I do think that is is a good candidate for using your creative juices to take this image to the fantasies of your mind. I think one could play with this basic image for a month or two with creative filters.
Or... you could keep it just as it is - a great landscape, and a great photograph

I really like it. The idea of adding more on the right is opposite of my thinking. I think the tree leads the eye to the left, therefore, the image could use more on the left, not the right. (Maybe there was nothing to see there, though.) Nice work, in any case.

Excellent quality! I would have had the tree more to the right, rather than centered. (Rule of thirds)

Your panorama took me right back there where I did practice rock climbing in the 1st century AD! Very nice photo.

When viewing the thumbnail I found it busy in both sky and earth. Upon looking at the full size that feeling went away and I found it very pleasing. However, along the bottom, ¾ to the right there is a white vertical growth with no base. Yes there are other bushes that don't show a base but it was the vertical nature of the plant that I found disturbing. I would suggest, if possible, to add more along the bottom to show the plant entering (exiting) the earth. Or clone it out. This shot would make a lovely 40" wide print above your couch in the living room. Great execution on this photo. 
Oops, missed the noise factor especially in the clouds on the right. I think just a minor noise reduction would handle it.
