 Shoot this handheld, didn't think it would come out nearly this good. I went back that day to see if I could reshoot to get more, but the clouds weren't nearly as pretty looking.

merged to panorama, curves, HDR, b/w

Yes, this is a nice panorama, and I agree with others that it's a tad too dark. I'm not sure what software you are using, but in either PS3 or Lightroom, you can use the sliders under grayscale to lighten (or darken) "colors." Moving the slider to the left on green would lighten the lawn, and maybe the bushes some. Hope I'm not telling you something you already know...if so, please forgive me.

Yes, I love how crisp and clean your whites and blacks are. That was a VERY dramatic sky. I'm glad you captured it -- and shared it with us :)

Really nice panorama and nicely stitched together for a hand held shot. The color version is brilliant and clear and the clouds are truly outstanding while I find the B&W a little dark.

The problem with showing panoramic shots at places like this is you lose just too much detail so thanks for the link to the colour version. Am pretty sure the B&W version (using Melethia's tip below) printed large would look awesome - thats some unusual (for me) cloud formation.

Nice scene and beautiful sky though the ground seems a bit too dark and lacking detail. As Methelia suggested I think some shadows slider could brighten it up a bit.

I love the clouds in B&W (usually prefer that to blue, oddly) but the thing that I like better about the color version is the light on the columns/posts on the right. It seems to get lost in both the B&W and the size. Very well done for a handheld pano! By the way, are you using Photoshop? Try using the shadow/highlight tool if you are. Set the shadows slider to about 10% and the highlights to about 15% and see what you think.

Really cool looking sky, I think I like the color version better though with the really nice blue. I find this a tad dark also. Good job for being hand held.

I'm not sure but I think this may be a little too much about the clouds. Again, I'm not sure. I do like the way the lower half of the image is rendered though I wonder how this would be if it were a little brighter in detail. Probably perfect as it is...
