Fantome on a close reach

Hi Yuval and all
Well I uploaded the pano of Fantome on a close reach.
http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp906/html/FrancisFougere.html
On the Thursday of the
shooting period we got ideal weather, a perfect shy, wonderful setting sun,
and a 6 knot breeze out of the west. Colours were spectacular and I followed
all of your suggestions. I shot quite a few at each station and I used a
bubble level on the camera. Beautiful evening sail we continued sailing
around the islands and back through the Toronto harbour and shared a bottle
of brandy. I love this boat.
The first pano I stitched was a disaster with too many forced stitched
frames. It actually looked kind of neat in an alternative reality kind of
way. Reminded me of an old Star Trek episode when they teleported someone
into a wall. Little shards of image loosely scattered through out the pano.
Caroling would approve I'm sure.
I rethought my stitching process and used only the upper and lower rows.
After some massaging I got six cube panels that I could retouch in Photoshop
to get the final that you see up on line. Not perfect but not too bad either
I think. Let me know what you all think. This was my most challenging pano
to date.
Francis
