Question Panoramic Tanjung Bidara

Panoramic Tanjung Bidara Sunset

Hi guys. These were taken last month. I used Photoshop photomerge on RAW files to do this pano. Photoshop did a good job merging the right & centre shots but were completely unable to stitch the left shot. Probable because I screwed up with the exposure time and the framing of that one. I had no choice but to manually stitch the left shot.

I can see the blending between the centre and left shot is not that good. (Gotten frustrated with that)
The colour of the left frame is also a bit different. I'm not sure whether that is due to the different exposure of because of the sun rays shooting that way. What do you think?
Any other critiques and solutions?

You can view the large size on my Flickr.

Camera: Canon EOS 1000D
Focal Length: 18 mm
Exposure Program: Manual

Exposure: 3.2
Aperture: f/16.0
ISO Speed: 100

Aperture: f/16.0
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV

ISO Speed: 100

To be honest it looks pretty good to me. If you do need to blend a bit more I would use the clone tool at a low opacity level and zero hardness

this is exactly what a panorama should do: show wide sweeping vistas the accentuate the granduer and panoply of nature. As panoramas go it is rather simplistic but the sky and the light more than make up for that. You have a winner here.

Thanks for the suggestion... I didn't consider that method before...

Thanks... I'm always looking for places that's good for panos...
