I think that this would work great as a black and white Dee.

I'm wondering why you stitched this. Was it taken with the 50mm? I still haven't stitched a photo yet. I guess the 10-20 mm sort of covers most of it.

Cool pic, I'm wondering about those blown clouds though. Would look terrific if there was detail in them.

Basketball was good btw, too bad you missed it, it was my first time in over two months.

to answer your question about why i stitched it....
i shot this structure from far away, and also from up close. the images from up close were so much stronger, less "snap-shotish" and had a in-your-face feel. that's why i decided to kill some time doing the stitch.

im interested to hear which version people like more, here is a B&W version which seems to correct the blown out clouds a bit:

Really like the B&W treatment, reminds me of a Hitchcock movie. :D

I'm going against the grain here - I really think the colour image is superior. The colours are vibrant and make the image!
