Your pictures are so well composed that I didn't at first see that they were panos.  However, I like to crop, I like to full frame, and with panos I feel I can have it both ways; I can quit panning.  IMO, if the second frame from the right in DecemberFloodedFarm came just short of the last building, its edge could be the edge of the pano to the betterment of the all the frames.  Bruce

They're both well composed, but # 2 is the prettier scene.

Thank you both.

I haven't worked with a full frame camera recently but have come to love panos. The are a natural extension of the medium, and one that has been largely out of reach until the digital age.

Both images are 8 frames. I've been playing with bigger prints on canvas recently and images such as these adapt well to canvas.

My thoughts exactly. Perhaps it's the absence in #2 of the rather uninteresting sky.
