Two very good shots. I looked at the original size pano. Very nice and very clean. Good work.

I too like the pano, nice colors.

I borrowed a fish-eye lens from a friend and tried to create a panoramic on a stormy night but the stitching software (which usually does a great job) had trouble with the job...too bad.

thanks for the comments!

it was the balcony of a friend of a friend. he's so used to it that he doesn't even notice the view anymore!

i can't take all the credit for the stitchwork. cs3 makes it so easy with the align layer and blend layer tools! i haven't had luck with stitching under 50mm because of the lens distortion towards the edges makes it that much harder to get a smooth blend so i keep it 50mm+ nowadays.

Nice work. I looked at the pano large version and it is a really nice job. Thanks for sharing.
