My first 4 shot pano. I had to do some distortion adjustments due to the 18mm lens and do a little exposure control on the foreground flowers...but other than that, pretty straightforward shot.
Chris,
You picked a very difficult challenge, so many fine objects at a short distance from your lens! This means that your alignment of images as you rotate through the optical axis is most likely to give you difficulties due to parallax errors. So you came out O.K.!
Did you do this free hand, with just a tripod or resting on some surface or with a pano rotation system?
As to the picture, now it's successfully stitched, I'd evaluate de novo what is needed to make your pano the most impressive. So is the lower border needed or could one cut aggressively and end up with a stronger pano.
Next, what is the potential of the grass, "path" to the right. Might you bring it out in some way as paths are always intriguing.
I like this new adventure of yours. Good job! Panos are always a surprise as they reveal far more than we can see.
