Since I mentioned these panos in my Autumn Umbrella post, I guess I will share them now. This is the Murray River seen from the Tumbler Point Trail on the outskirts of Tumbler Ridge in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. I really, REALLY wanted to get back here for fall colour, but unless the leaves hold out until this weekend, which is doubtful, I fear I'm outa' luck for this year.
15 vertical frames (yes, 15, probably twice as many as needed) to include the top of the undercut embankment I was standing near, merged in photoshop photomerge. The curve of the embankment is exaggerated because of the pano merge, but I don't mind how it turned out, other than I wish more was showing in the middle. This would have meant backing up to include though, which would have lessened the amount of river showing below.
Same spot, just a little later on the hike back out, and also 4 horizontal frames shot and merged top to bottom, as at full wide (17mm x 1.6 crop) I could not include both the clouds and the near riverbank in the same frame. Probably could have done this with 2 frames, but the more the merrier, right?
I really like it. It is like a "Horseshoe Bend" in an alpine setting. I also like the clouds which helped create shadows so that the subject is not drenched completely in light. The shaded areas have more interesting color.

Sweet, a horseshoe bend with trees . Good job on the first one, my only small nit-pick would be to include a tad more sky on the top so the tree on the right side wouldn't end on very top of the picture.
Thank you all immensely for looking and commenting!
Craig & Milan, "Horseshoe Bend is exactly what I first thought when first seeing this, and what I wanted to call it, but decided against to alleviate any possible high hopes... But I guess I could have called it Green Horseshoe Bend...
Milan, I agree about the top of the right tree topped off. That frame does actually include the treetop, but was clipped during the crop after merging . If I stretch the image using Edit>Transform>Warp like I did with my Autumn Umbrella pano instead of cropping, I can fix it, though, thanks for the kick in the pants about it!
