Very attractive pano in the classic "overlook" genre that I personally like.

But somehow, I would like to see the rich coloration of the foliage.  Or at least a b&w  a little more tonal range on the ground (but not harsh!) to suggest such richness.

Oh, I see the people are in color, frankly it doesn't say anything to me and reduces your image to a stunt.

Yeah. I wasn't too sure about the color thing either with the B&W, and thought about including a question about it being hokey or not, and you nailed it.

Here's a colour version done about the same time, two rows of shots high (portrait mode and zoomed to 55 mm) but less wide (mainly because I screwed up in the field) - original was at 17 mm zoom, landscape orientation, 1 row high.

Thanks for the feedback.
