Yes, very nice photo's, especially the tulip. But is a vertical 'narrow photo' still a panorama? Doesn't a panorama by definition need to be horizontal, and a wide sweeping view? Panorama's in nature are, panorama's in painting as well, as far as I know. Or can you call any rectangular photo (over a certain aspect ratio) a panorama?

Curious for you opinions,

Neat idea - I don't think I've ever knowingly seen a vertical pano before.

My only real complaint about most pans is that they're too wide.
Bigger than about 3:1 I really can't view the whole thing as an
entire photo: I end up getting in close to pick out the details.

Pans are *hard* to do well.  The usual "rules" of composition tend to
go out the window, and it's difficult to stay away from clichés.  The
last time I went out with the intention of shooting panoramas, I shot
the entire roll full-frame.

I have a whole bunch of boring old landscape panoramas but I've shown
most or all of them here before.

Here are a couple I have that are slightly different, but probably
not what you're intending.  These are quick files I've generated from
old scans.
