I shot this pano on Sept 1st on my first visit to Crater Lake. Forest fires in Northern California gave the skies incredible color at sunset. There were still a few pockets of snow remaining on the north-facing shoreline. 14-Shots stitched together in Photoshop.
I like it, makes me wish Crater lake had been open when I was there. I would be tempted to clone the white spots on the left, they distract from the silhouette of the shoreline.
This is just my opinion; take it for whatever you think it's worth.
I think it's a very pretty photograph; you captured unusual light in a pretty scene, very well.
That said, I think Crater Lake is the most serenely beautiful place I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of very beautiful places), and I'm afraid that this photo has a generic look to it that doesn't perhaps take full advantage of the incredible and unusual beauty of Crater Lake.
