Is that the guy in the industrial interior?
The stitching is good, but it looks like maybe the individual frames were taken with a pretty wide-angle lens, so that various sections of the picture -- especially along the top -- seem to have a little bit of spherical distortion, giving it a "bumpy" look.
Interior is an interesting application of the panoramic technique. I've just begun playing with stitching some photos myself, but have so far I've only been doing typical landscapes. |

The spherical distortion is normal for a very "tall" pano. When you get a VFOV over about 100 degrees and an HFOV over about 120 or so, you'll start to see this. using a sperical projection sometimes helps, but you will always get some bending. This bending goes away if you use a panorama viewer.
I think the verticals are not vertical, the fan outwards at the top toward the left side.
I'm not sure where you're going with this, IMO either the left side is too bright, or the right side is too dark.
If you shot RAW or bracketed, I think a little HDR work will bring out the shadows on the right.
If you didn't shoot RAW or bracket, Check out this tutorial //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=55 and remember that you can paint with black to darken, and other colors to achieve other effects.
You've got a very powerful image, but using the light rays as leading lines would make it even better.
If you can re-shoot, do it at the same time of day, move the guy two arm lengths over to his left, under the light rays on the blue (is it a rolling door?). Darken the leftmost half of the pano to put all the light (and attention) on the model. If you want to go whole hog, add a little fog to show the light rays more.

Pretty cool shot. I really need to get back at doing panoramics, just haven't really found a subject I like (actually probably just lazy lol). I miss having my sunrises to shoot, can't wait to return to North Carolina so I can do more.
(btw...I didn't read your post well enough so I had problems finding what image you were talking about (I know now that it says image #8 but didn't see that the first couple times I read it). Found that if you use //itchphoto.com/?goto=new&img=8 it takes you right to the image.) |

Caption: " I need a maid! "
Interesting, and I see the bend too. I have not tried indoor pans yet.

I'll keep that in mind ... good to know it's not my imagination or astigmatism ... : ) |
