The plethora of panoramas posted here in recent weeks is interesting from a
technical standpoint, but for the most part they are boring and
uninteresting photos - at best a documentary of some space that looks good
spread out over a wide number of pixels.  I've seen nothing original,
nothing that's not been seen before, no matter how well executed or pretty
the scenes may be.  Skylines and beaches seem to be a dominant theme ...
often patched together from segments that by themselves would be of little
interest on many levels.  

I liked what Bob Sullivan tried to do with his panorama of a few runners in
the park on an early morning?  In some ways it wasn't as finely executed as
some of the technological tours de force others have posted, but what made
it outstanding is that Bob was working with a relatively closed and small
space, trying to capture something more intimate.

So, here's a panorama challenge:  make something different, maybe a macro
panorama, or one of some everyday object like a sofa or a car, or of
something in your house.
