Ah the Pilgrim monument. I haven't been there. Very nice panoramas. They all look very well done to me. You clearly have very high production standards.
When I was working for the NPS I did a similar style panorama from the top of the Cape Lookout Light (not even remotely as nice as yours though.) It was my first 360ş panorama and I wasn't sure it would work since I took it from the outer catwalk, but I figured the closest objects were far enough away that it wouldn't be a problem. It wasn't that great (3.5Mp jpegs, no fusion or TCA correction etc., but this was a few years ago and my colleagues (who had never seen stitched panos before) were amazed and perplexed by how I got "such nice images" using a little digital point and shoot (although the results would probably not be acceptable to anyone in this forum.) I stitched them together with well aged Apple QTVR Studio Software running on system 7 via Rosetta on a G3 PowerMac. Although the whole western sky was blown out, I was actually pleasantly surprised myself. I should go back and run it through Hugin. I'm sure there would be a little noticeable improvement.
