I prefer the panoramic version. It might be because it's more classic or because the V-shaped sides (rocks and reflections) of the images lead the eyes to the shack and finally to the snow-covered peaks.

I like the top image aswell, because of the V formation as Francois said. But also for the processing, it feels "smoother" and more "clear", hard to explain.

I prefer the composition of the single image, but the light & colour of the pano.

That's exactly my sentiment.

Thanks for the feedback guys...I agree with the general opinions, the pano has a better finish/clarity but possible the single image is a better comp.
I think my final output for the pano might have a slight crop to the LHS to bring its comp more into line with the single image

Cheers very useful that.
