Very nice. I like the different foregrounds in each of them, and I think they lend themselves to color and B&W (respectively) really well. Great shots and stitching together!

Jeff, I agree with Audrey - - the selective use of he foregrounds really lend themselves to the color and B&W choices. That is one strange geological feature...

I think that the trees on both sides of the mountain make the color version look a little too balanced... I prefer the B&W composition.

I welcome comments on any picture I post... Thanks.

I agree on both counts. Love the B&W and I like the color one but the composition of the color one throws me a little.

Thanks everybody, I appreciate the feedback/comments. I can see how the color composition might seem a little static in comparison to the pano, they do create different impressions for me.
