I'm glad you uploaded the large version so we can appreciate all the detail here. I love the expansive feel of the landscape, exagerrated by the arc of the cloud and the long shadows in the foreground. Beatiful warm tnes and nicely spaced trees. I can only imagine how quiet and peaceful it must have been there!

Nicely done Simon. I like the warm light and arching clouds. A little more leading line to add depth could be nice, but that may not exist in that landscape! Very well done.

Very nice indeed - it's worked well hasn't it. Like the pano crop.

the arc in the clouds really makes this work. of course, we can not really appreciate big panos like this given web constraints. too bad, because i'd like to see this large.

Very nice Pano, Simon.
My only wish would be for a little more foreground.
Good work!

Simon,

Great panoramic! Love the warm late light and the concave shape of the cloud overhead is quite impressive. In fact, I wish I could see more of it to see more of the curve - but not a big deal. Also, nice job in "disguising" your shadow!

Sweet light. You've captured the essence of a beautiful day in the outback really well.
