I didn't want to detract from a "Critique Required" thread displaying a stitched image. I am not an authority in this area of photography and have limited experience. Still, I thought I would include this info here that everyone is welcome to expand on if they choose to. . .
Asher made an interesting observation and suggestion in that post:
These are valuable considerations Asher. The thing is that while panos can create expanses that look interesting because of their wide format - - - unless the same consideration is given to the composition, leading lines, dynamic angles, etc, etc - - - they are really just pano snapshots.
With every iPhone/iPad and mobile device being able to shoot and stitch panoramic vistas these days - they are becoming increasingly commonplace for any user to take - - - so to make a pano that really has impact requires the same considerations as a more square format.

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.
