Hi,

I'm not quite sure if this pano works and if I want to keep it. 18 portrait mode shots stitched with PanoFactory 3.3. Manual focus, manual exposure, f/9, 1/80. 82 mm at 24-120VR.

Anyway, for your C&C:

Mikhail - I like this pano - the eye being drawn off to the left, taking the vines to infinity, works for me :)

This is definitely a keeper. I agree with Chris. It captures the wonderful lines the eye sees in vistas like this.

I think the pano is good as Chris said it draws the eye to the left, so in my book it's affective.

Not wanting to exacerbate the issue of posting panos, but if you post a 800x wide version and then a link to a larger version it wouldn't managle the forum pages causing the text to scroll extra wide :)

Agree on the 800 wide point, but you already knew that ;)

On the pano itself, I'd think that if it's as clear as it looks at this size, Ernest Hill would love to get a large copy of it! Would look really nice on their wall :)

Thanks guys! Now I definetely see it's a keeper :)

Accordingly to size ... with my 1920x1200 resolution I didn't even think about 1280 pixels wide picture problem :)

Next time I'll do what you recommend!

Nice choice of subject for the pano, exposures seem nicely matched, definately worth keeping... Maybe worth a soft gradient down from the top to bring out the textures in the sky maybe? The brightness of the sky seems a bit strong for me...

Reckon the vineyard may be interested in a print of that...

Thank you, Andrew!

Anyway, appreciate all your advices, guys!
