Looks good to me. Some tricky exposures have been well handled.

Very nice image Steve I want to try panoramas too in the future when I'm more experienced.

Thanks Binnur. The way to gain experience is just to go out and try it. The more you shoot the better you'll get!

Beartooth Pass is always a tough photo. It's nearly impossible to get a sense of the grandeur and size of the place. A panorama is a good choice. BTW, was it stitched together from multiple frames?

I imagine you used a polarizer. I'm not saying it's bad. It's almost a requirement to get a nice sky. I do notice that the sky is darker on the right. That's making me wonder if for a multi-shot panorama, could a person twist the filter and get a more consistent sky color or would just lead to banding effects in the sky? Just wondering.

BTW, for people not familiar with the Beartooth area, it is a high plateau in Montana and Wyoming in the US. Large portions of it are above 3000m. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beartooth_pass

Thanks for the comments Craig. This is an 11 shot stitch handheld. Actually I didn't use a CPL for this. I'm not sure about banding but a CPL really only works when perpendicular to the sun. I think the darker sky on the right is because the sun was to the left of the frame where the sky was lighter. I'll have to look at it again in LR 5.5 and see if I can even it out.

Not saying that it needs to be evened out. I'm mostly wondering how difficult it would be to even it out.
