Default An HDR Panorama

This was taken/put together on Prince Edward's island. 21 sets of 3 pictures each (for HDRs) at f/8 and 24mm off 24-85 3.5-4.5 and D80. Suggestions anyone? The picture's pretty big, so I'm posting it as a link:

I love the panorama, and the HDR work you have done. The only thing I am not sure of is the saturation levels in the grass areas. They seem a little too green. Fantastic panorama though! Thanks for sharing.

beautifull place PEI,

I think your panorama is just incredible. How did you manage to get all those shots without much cloud movement?

A lovely panorama indeed! I agree on the colour of the grass being rather unnatural. I think with a little softer green, the grass will distract less from those lovely clouds.

Very nice picture!
The composition, I think, is perfect: The small stripe of grass and then the heavy-looking clouds over it. I also love the colours, i think the green is perfectly saturated, it creates a contrast to the slightly less saturated clouds.

Congrats on this shot!

Thanks guys. I was thinking about redoing the picture again seeing that I didn't manage to completely correct for the lens distortion the first time through (you can still see a wavy horizon). I think I'll adjust the saturation on the grass then because so many people have been telling me it looks unnatural :P. As for the cloud motion, I think I did 3 passes through the scene and the last two were clouds only (if there was any land, I cropped it out) and photoshop just matched the features together nicely . I actually started running out of clouds around the upper left corner and had to fill it in. Anyone think the stripes (not sure what to call them) on the upper right side look strange in the picture?
