Title: Sunset at the marina

This is a composite of 23 frames and the 2.3 GB .tif file was created (stitched) by the use of the mah-velous PTGUI stitcher.

It appears to be quite interesting, but it is impossible to tell at such a small size.

I agree with SB.

The width of the original is about 26K pixels where the reduction above is a single K pixel wide. What would be tolerable minimal suitable size for this?

Maybe something like 400-600 pixels tall?

Here are a couple of larger examples

This is a different crop, and was shot a little later

Pleasant colors, but to be frank, I believe that it is too wide.

Such panos need to have some outstanding element somewhere along the x axis to work. Here we just have a collection of masts with no particular reason to start or stop at a given place.

So good technical job I assume (again too small to judge) but can probably be improved composition wise.

Cheers,
Bernard

This image would have been nicer if it has the point of interest that it lacks.. It feels like repetition of sail poles everywhere..

Cheers.

This is the sort of image that might work if I saw it really really large.  But at this size it is Toothpicks at sunset.

It lacks a focal point.
