Thanks Mark, it's definitely a great spot, I've taken a lot of great photos from that point (so have hundreds of thousands of tourists too of course) but it really worked for me that morning.

Thanks Aahz, As I mentioned a bit earlier in the thread I was lazy and have currently only used the in camera jpgs to assemble the pano (as is the case normally so I don't waste time trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear using huge files), so I suspect that using optimised images (from RAW) I will get a much better result re dynamics plus it will be much larger as I always have my in camera jpg engine set to deliver 2MP files. I have shot lots of panos, some worked some didn't but often it's a surprise because expectations are either exceeded or are found to have been very over estimated. I've probably only shot ten or so panos that I could print large and be really pleased with. So I'm glad this one worked as well as it did becasue the trip was unplanned, the location was a last minute decision (literally) and I really took far less care than I would in a situation where I had set out initially to capture a pano.
