Great shot Vrboy you must print it & hang it on you wall

[mudder]

G'day,
That's a terrific pano, well done, the exposure would have been tricky... Only comment is re: something encroaching on the right hand side of the frame, not sure what it is.
I'd also be tempted to crop some off the top to focus and keep your viewer on the bridge and skyline, and not wander off into the sky.

I'm a sucker for a nice pano, and this is terrific...

Very very nice...but maybe try this...open in Photoshop and go to variations. Click on the cyan box 2 times and the blue box once. It takes out most of the brown and looks cooler to my eyes. This is only refining the image to my taste. If you think it looks better the way it is then that's also fine. The image still rocks!

It was really hard, there was a high fence , a storm was coming and nowhere to sit a tripod , I folded the legs of tripod held it firm against the fence with one hand above my head and basically guessed my overlaps, no pano head or click stops and with the other hand shot blind on about four second exposures.

thanks for the input ,though I quite like the reddish "daredevil" feel, the strong warm colours are what I like about the shot. each to their own I guess.
Thanks everyone for the comments

Beeeeeautifull !

Yes, Crop that right a bit and a bit of the bottom left and I think you will have a Story

Mic.

Great shot. I was going to suggest that you do what you did and then as I read down the thread I saw that you had done it anyway. Very nice

[KerryPierce]

That's really a neat pano. Lots of color. Very cool subject.

Great shot mate, I've taken shots in the evening of that Story Bridge from nearly the same spot. Looks as if you may have taken them from an elevate position though. There are some great balcony's on various apartments in Bowen Tce, pitty I don't know anybody who lives there.

That photo is worthy of printing... straight to the pool room.

Most lovely! Great colors and exposure. Makes me want to do panos myself (too bad that I suck at it big time).
