It's flat, and dry out there

360 degree pano, from 27 images - like the Mt Kaputar pano, this has been put together from the JPG's, so I'm hoping the colour shift apparent in different areas of this one will be able to be worked out when I redo with the NEF's.

Leon,

I think that the clouds are very interesting in this shot but the left side of the image does not have anything in the foreground to hold my attention.

Agree, and in hindsight, I'd probably look to try and get an angle where the plough (or whatever it is) was away from the tree line a bit more. That way, at least there'd be either something in the foreground or something on the horizon.
My first attempt at a 360degree, and I'm quite happy with the way it's stitched - just need to see if the NEF version will even out the colours a bit better!
The reality of this place is it is very flat, and in that particular paddock there was nothing other than a few beasts (cattle) closer to the trees, and this plough thing. Other thing I could have tried I guess is standing on the bike - two advantages I would have got, the bike wouldn't have been in the pic, and maybe a higher view would have shown the emptiness better (?)

The cloud formation in the original is very complex and interesting viewing. Maybe centering the plough in the image would have helped but cropping some of the LHS might be just as valuable. This is a very good stitch nevertheless. I haven't attempted something so wide yet myself but it looks good to me.

Reworked using NEF's, and not including the complete 360 degrees. The colour shift has been eliminated, a huge benefit of using NEF's! Have tried to emphasize the wide open, flat space - hence I've left the plough out of this one.
Any comments?

Somehow neither of these versions work for me. I think it's too wide if that makes sense. Each time I've loaded it I keep waiting for more to come in at the bottom, but nothing happens. I think losing the plough improved the shot though.
