Wow Tim,
Nice work, too!
Urs has sent me his .pto file, so I'm going to have a play with that at
home.
But yeah, I'd love it if you were happy to send me a full sized tiff.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Bruce Williams.

Second attempt to send this. Apologies if it comes through twice.

Hi Bruce, not an expert here either but have used Hugin successfully on
many
panoramas. Yours was more of a challenge because of the waves and a couple
of
image boundary's had small coverage with few contol points.
I finished it off with the gimps heal selection and heal tool.
What do you think?
If you want me to send a PNG file at 23mb or tiff at 33mb I can.

Tim.
