Love panos. Nicely done! Great color.

So much better now that the sky tones are even :-) Fantastic contrast between the cool blue sky and the warm orange structure. Voted.

Beautiful shot of this icon. V.

Absolutely a gem of a capture (you're so lucky to have this icon nearby), but the middle exposure has not blended well with those on the left & right with an obvious dark band through the centre :-( [scroll the picture to see it more easily].
I presume that you used manual metering mode to keep the exposures the same (I don't know what EXIF metering mode -1 means?) so perhaps PTGUI has let you down. I'd LOVE to see a correctly blended stitch......

Flawless! I absolutely can't believe this is three separate images. The lighting is beautiful...this might be the best photo I've seen of the Golden Gate. Well done, Zane!
