That's a great pano and Autopan does a great job - particularly for a hand held series.
I must admit I find it hard to orient myself with these really wide panos. I know Tallow Dam well (in a former life I was a catchment management engineer for the former Sydney Water Board) but I had a lot of trouble figuring out what I was looking at in this image, particularly around the centre. Doesn't detract in the slightest from the technical aspects and aesthetics of the image but the distorted reality is difficult for me to correlate with what I'm used to seeing.
