The view from near the opera house

It's nice but it's really too small to do it justice. It fits on my laptop monitor easily.
I bet there is some great detail in there but I'd like to see it three times that size at least.

yea, thats the kind of shot you should print really really large. from the size that its at though, it looks great! i like how it gets to a much lighter blue to the left of the arch on the bridge. the building on the right (shame on me for not knowing its name!) does seem a little out of place though. I cant put my finger on it exactly, but maybe its that it is the only bright white thing in the frame?

I'm assuming that is the Sydney opera house on the right.....

The building on the right is Sydney opera house

Tell me how to post a larger version I did give it a go it didn’t work

this one is 13652x1800 px at 75px/i

Here is a larger version

On my screen, they look the same size.

If possible, with this shot I'd offer a link to the original, where ever you may have it uploaded. That way, if someone wants to wait for the full res version to load they can. I would wait to see this one if you were to do this!

I'm concerned that the horizon of the water is something of an S curve when it seems like it should be flat.

PTGUI allows this to be corrected before creation. Was this pano hand held? Done with a pano head on the sticks? What software?

To my mind this could be lovely but is currently unacceptable. For us to help you needto supply more information....

I'm having trouble with the image hosting size on Flickr it does not allow big images to be posted and viewed. It only gives a large size of 1024 x 135. Do you know of any other sites that allow you to host larger size panos ?

This was done using an EOS-40D with 17-85 EFS on a tripod single row pano with the camera in the portrait mode. I don’t have a pano head so can’t change the nodal point. I did 11 pictures each about 5 sec exposure at f 8 then using lightroom I exported the RAW images to photoshop CS3 and in the auto mode stitched the pano then flattened it and imported it back into lightroom then did the re size to be posted on the web.

That's the first thing I noticed. It really hurts the final pic. There's also a LOT of vertical distortion, at least on the left side.

nice shot, i'd try correcting some distortion in photoshop.

Can't help with the hosting but I'm pretty sure PTGui will sort out the horizon / water. I think there might be a trial version if you want to give it a go.

There is a trial version, but it (rightfully so) watermarks your image with their logo. If you're going to do more of these in the future, it may pay to either get the software, or try the stitch program that's built into Elements.
