Great shot, but my eye is drawn right to the wire on the left! Clone time!

Awesome shot!! I don't see what wire Don's talking about.

I agree... I like the brighter one a little better.
Glad to know I wasn't blind.

Wow, from the other thread mentioning to check out your files and try it myself... I did. I have to congratulate you on pulling this off and getting it all together looking great.
I use PTGui Pro, which flawlessly stitches most of my panos. I ran the limited photos you have available (8) and it was a mess. Tips that may help shorten your process time. Shoot more images. Each photo needs enough overlap to accurately select multiple points for stitching (the program will do this automatically). 1/3 to 1/2 overlap in all directions will greatly help. Shoot wider than you want, then crop it to your desired dimensions, easier to crop than wish you had more, and prevents a weird warp on the sides. Also, if you can bracket the images it will really bring out all the detail and with the proper settings will not look like an over processed HDR. I would also like to note a fisheye is not actually needed as it will not catch as much detail, only fewer images. 10mm - 18mm will make it much easier, just shoot wide, or take a lot more image. 24 images would have made this much faster to process.
Shooting full manual will also help prevent the variations in exposure from each image. I can see the exposure lines of several of the images. If you have an 'exposure blending' option in your stitching program it will help, but not much with little overlap information.

I was just messing wiht Don! I removed the wire and replaced the image
He was correct it was distracting!
Here is a little brighter version. I think I prefer this one!

Of course as frustrating as it can be I really do love the processing as much as taking the shots!!

When you come to a door... walk through it.
If it's locked... find an open window.
