Are you sure the second shot isn't an old Aussie Post letter box?

Love the first shot - the pano works well. Have you tried Autostich or Panorama Factory?

Great shots BBJ, I can't believe how red the light house is, it certainly jumps out and grabs your eye.

John, The pano works well. PSCS2 seems to stitch better than PSCS. A link to a bigger image would be nice. The small pic doesn't do it justice :)

I like the lighthouse. The red is very intense but the background is made to look more washed out than it is because of it. IMHO. The perspective is sweet.
