OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THESE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOL!

*wipes away drool*

I'm googling my little heart out and not finding anything that will make anything like what you did! *flail*

Thanks Marian, keep looking, you'll find em' I'm looking forward to seeing the space needle panoramic, ooops, gave away a clue. That will be way too cool.

[Marian Murdoch]

[Mike Hodgson]

Alright Mike, these are dang near perfect, so I am going to nit pick a touch, but just a touch 
When doing this I might clone a bit where the seam is.  On the first one I can see the pano image meets at the bottom.  I think with a little cloning work you could blend that right up.

Seriously, these are amazing.  They would look cool with a city skyline, unfortunately I can't try that, my city doesn't have a skyline due to the mountains... well I guess that would make for a cool shot anyway.  If I get time someday I'll give it a whirl.

This looks like a lot of fun, Mike.  Thanks for sharing.  I like the way the trees in your second image appear to be spiraling toward you.

[Marian Murdoch]

Oh, now you've created a monster!!!! Whooooooooooooo what fun!!!

Mike, it'll be all your fault if I don't see my husband for the next couple of days!
