Initial Impression:Beautiful Panorama

Detailed analysis:This is a great panaroma shot. I love the rich golden colors of the safflower. Several comments were made on the choice of cropping, but personally I like it. I'm afraid it may have affected some of the voting because the image can be perceived as being "too small". You did a good job of adhering to the 640 max dimension rule and made the image as large as you could. I love the flowing curves of the hills and how the sky seems to also "go with the flow".

My only nitpick would be the blown highlights in the clouds (dead center), but it's a minor issue that I didn't even notice in my first pass.

I also can't help but wonder what this same image would look like "stretched" vertically.

Overall Impression: Great shot, good perspective. I love it!!!

I like the fenceposts and the perspective. There is just an awful lot to look at here. Maybe cropping out the top portion and focusing on the fence would help eliminate some confusion.

What a beautiful sunset/sunrise(?) The mist is very nice also. I appreciate what you're trying to accomplish, but IMHO the "bars" take too much away from an otherwise stunning photo.

Very nice, there are a few blown out highlights. Interesting coloration to the sky. I love the "layered" effect.
