Thanks, the bottom one was my final go at it.  I thought the first one was it, 
then saw some things to fix, and after a while saw a few more things and did 
the third.It's getting to the point that my computer is really starting to bog 
down, so I ought to call it done, at least until I get a faster machine :-)

Either the middle or bottom image works for me, although of the two I'd 
prefer the bottom.  Either of the two has a more defined horizon and I 
prefer the more defined trees (?) in the lower right of the bottom image 
as compared to the less defined in the middle image. -p

 I decided to have a go at another one of my photos, trying to take 
 advantage of new features in lightroom.  It is an HDR panorama (at 15 and 
 20 seconds).  For the new version I did a lightroom noise reduction of 
 each of the frames before doing an HDR pano stitch.
 
 I believe this is my previous version that I used for printing:
 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/30524911188/in/album-72177720314781277/
 
 This one is my current "best try":
 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53532544424/in/album-72177720314781277/
 I've learned a fair bit about using masks in the process.
 
 All of my processing attempts over the years are in this album:
 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720314781277/with/42907311702
 
 I would appreciate people's thoughts about what improvements the 
 processing might need.  Is there anything about any of the older attempts 
 that worked better?
 
 Thanks,

It just worked fine for me. But, being on opposite coasts, you and I
may get connected via different servers.

Yup, not only did I try a smaller version, but I also tried from the web 
interface rather than lightroom

I have no such problem. Usually there is a delay with full resolution 
uploading on Flickr. Perhaps you can try smaller files.
