    Stitched panos are so often created with landscape images. For some reason, it's counterintuitive to rotate the camera to portrait mode when thinking about panos. This shot shows why it's a good idea to go against convention at times. The vertical orientation of the stitched shots works really well in conveying the grand scope of the scene.

    That said, I have a couple of observations on the final postprocessing. First, there seems to be a greenish color cast that might benefit from a bit cooler white balance. There are also some artifacts of color shifting in the sky in the top right third of the shot (likely at a stitch point). At one point (about a quarter of the way from l to r on the top edge), there's what appears to be a remnant of some retouching/cloning that could be smoothed out a bit). A bit more tweaking on these would, IMO, make it even better.

    I also wish the human subjects had a little more breathing room between them and the bottom edge. I suspect that hand holding and stitching may have required a bit more cropping at the middle than you intended in order to get the full width in.

    So - my comments are to be taken with a grain of salt... er sand... I'm just looking at a spectacular image with lots of good stuff going on and musing about minor improvements. Terrific shot(s)!

    Nice shot! I could really go for that (a walk on a beach) right now! I just came in from clearing the latest snowfall off the driveway.
