I made two attempts, well actually three but two of them were
stitching oriented. This one seems to be the better one. I have little
experience with panoramas... I think I can count number of times I
tried to produce one with fingers on just one of my two hands.

I should also say it is rather different "seeing" the image before I
am at home in front of my PC doing the stitching... I think one can
say I am getting spoiled with instant review ability of my camera.

Hi Boris,

You live half way across the country from Haifa.  It's difficult for you to
get there.  I have to ask: did you take numerous shots of this scene with
slightly different framing, different lenses, standing in different place? 
Just curious if this was the best one.

Hi!


I'd like to see more sky at the expense of some of the foreground, and
I would shamelessly clone out the mostly dead tree that is so unfortunately
placed.
Nice shot in most every other way.
Your stitching is much better than mine.


Unfortunately the sky was rather dull gray-blue-cyan uniform mass... 
Unfortunately we live 2 hours drive from Haifa (half across the 
country), so couldn't go anytime I wanted...


I should remember your suggestions next time we're there and sky is more 
interesting.


I am too lazy to clone out that dead tree... May be next time the Haifa 
zoo people will simply cut it for me ;-).


As for stitching - you don't see it on this shot, but on full size image 
there're some strange discontinuities on the sky... Anyone can help me 
with overcoming this in PTStitcher?


Boris

Boris, I like what you've done here, but I find the foreground somewhat 
boring.
Too much of it and not very interesting. Perhaps if taken with a longer 
lens...

Hi!

My most recent silence on the list has explanation. We've been preparing 
for our trip to Haifa... I should say that PD7X performed flawlessly 
exactly to my expectations. It was very liberating to be able to return to 
the hotel after each walk and download the images to the hard drive... 
Really easy, mighty useful. I shot some 120+ images which would fit on two 
of my 1GB cards but I would be apprehensive about running out of "film". 
At this time I felt totally free to shot as much as I wanted.


Here is the pano I wanted to shoot for a very very very long time. Some 
additional technical data to that posted on the site:


All shot handheld, ISO 200, -1 Ev exposure compensation, 1/400 sec, f/11.

Ok, you asked for it. I'll be honest and brutal.
