Nice pano shot. I can almost feel the chill in the air.

Beautiful light, Rick, and a pleasing comp. There seems to be quite a bit of noise in the sky. Not sure if PSE13 is good at dealing with that or if some add-on is necessary.

On my monitor I am not seeing noise in the sky, but monitors are different. At ISO 100 you could be picking up a little from the longer exposure. An issue I have had previously with sky noise has to do with the reduction algorithm, bicubic smoother is better for this type of image than bicubic sharper, which is typically used fro reduction. An image like this, particularly a panorama looks much better quite large!

Another pleasing scene from Nebraska! I like how you have explored this location. While I like the colors in this image I do wonder what it would be like with just a bit darker sky. Thanks for sharing.
