I think it works really well as a panorama, it's got a great mood and feel. Great job stitching it together.

Very nice. If I really wanted to pick nits, I'd love to have seen enough space under the reflected mast to see that it's all in-frame, and it also feels like the horizon is tilting slightly down to the right. It's very possible that the tilting horizon is my eyes misreading the shoreline, though. I love the composition.

This is a very nice picture and it works well for me as a panorama. I also looked at the horizon thinking it's a tiny bit down to the right but after reading dlamberts post I looked again and I think the right hand shoreline is just a bit closer than the left. If you look at the boat which is the subject I think that's pretty well bang on level.
Is this your first attempt at stitching ? I've yet to learn that and I'm a long way off trying so well done if it is !

Thanks for your coments guys having looked at this again a few more times i can see what you mean about the right hand side, it does look to be a bit lower but i think that it is just a wee bit closer.
I agree it would have been better to have more of the mast in the reflection ( i still need to really check out the view finder before pressing the shutter)

It works really well as a panorama for me.

If you're shooting for a panorama, don't forget that you may lose a little bit of your image when stitching / cropping, so you might have to be even more generous than normal w/ the viewfinder. Really not a big deal in this case, though. The overall geometry came out great, which is one of the areas where many panoramas struggle. Well done.
