Foothills Panorama

[AndrewKulin]

I am planning to print this out and have it framed for a gift (to be sized at 12x36).   Any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.  It had to be down-sampled aggressively to be posted here.  Used a Canon 40D/17-55 lens @55, portrait orientation so I think print resolution should be fine as there are essentially ten 8x12 prints.

Thanks

You might try cropping out some of the foreground, as there's not much going on there. My own panos seem to work better when there's something interesting up close to balance the horizon and distant details. The hay bales (sp?) are good, but the drab vegetation right up front doesn't add anything to the image.

Otherwise it's beautiful; gotta love the alpenglow and distant mountains.

I disagree.  I think the foreground provides a sense of scale.  I think the composition is well-balanced.  The bales of hay and livestock make this image work.  To my eye, the "middle" foothills have a blue tint that could be toned down a little bit, but that's my personal preference.  It works for me quite nicely as-is.  Nice image.
