Went to Las Vegas this past weekend and took a look a trip for the first time to Valley of Fire State Park. Very nice and cool looking landscape.

Beautiful pano! Maybe delete the watermark and post it in the caption box below the image. Those small hills are part of your foreground and the watermark obscures the depth and scale they provide of your pano. If you want it in the frame maybe move it to the left where there is no markable fg? Just a constructive comment. It is a fine pano.

I like the colors and lighting. I find panos often very difficult to fully appreciate online as they really need to be hung at a very large size to get the full impact. I might like to see a wider version (more foreground) as that may look better printed large and hung. A little more leading line of the road and a fuller view of the foreground hills.

Took your suggestion and took off the water mark. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I'm planning on hanging this at my work place. But the usual place I go for my pictures, mpix, only has a 5x30" panorama available as the largest size. I'd like to get it bigger than that, do you have any suggestions on a printing house for pano's?

They are down the street from my office, which is a bonus for me. They do stellar work, and inside their facility, they have very long/large panos displayed.

Wow!! Much better to me! Those small hills lock the foreground into the image allowing the eye to see scale, depth, emotion..Really a fine pano!
Let's see more!

Wonderful long pano image you have here, Edward.
I also sometimes have a very long, long pano image.
If you want to print and hang on the wall, I would divide this long pano into perhaps 4 pieces (in your case) and print somewhat longer vertically, then hang them side by side, occupying two walls if needed.
It will look better visually.
Cheers!

Nice! This is definitely a comp where a long pano not only makes sense but really gives the viewer a real sense of the location. Dave

Excellent suggestion. I wanted to print this out on metal. Being able to split it in four should give the ability to print it on metal.

Although not the biggest fan of VOF, I think this is great. Especially clicking on the image to see it unobstructed. Nice job.
