Are stitched panorama type photos allowed?
just wondering.

Seems to be within the rules to me.

Problem is you are still restricted to 800 pixels in width, making panos pretty short. (See examples here)

"One of these days" we will deal with this -- I've wanted to have a special panorama challenge anyway ...

i was thinking about that but might try to do 2 or 3 rows tall and 5 to 6 shots wide...we'll see if it's worth it i guess.

The problem isn't so much getting height into the shot, but into the display. If you want even a 2:1 pano, at 800 pixels wide it's only 400 pixels high; for a 3:1 pano it will be only 266 pixels high, etc....

Personally, I'd like to see a special rule set with would allow a submission of 1600 wide x 800 high, 500KB maximum size.

Me too. In fact, I know L talked about special challenges for panos, and that being the reason that panos were not being allowed in Advanced. Y'all oughta lobby him! :-)
