Not bad, not bad! Looks WAY different from the Glenelg where I come from of course... :)
Must try Hugin if I ever get a bored moment...is it cheap and easy to use?

Looks great! I'm not a big fan of panoramas but great panoramas like this are always nice to see ;)

Andy, Hugin is open source GUI for various panorama command line tools. So it's free of charge.
 
Nice one Phil. The sky and quite calm water make it. Straightening the horizon (a gentle counterclockwise rotation) could help it to be even better.

I have ordered a spirit level for my camera. The picture was out by about 1.1° Its a funny location because the Lock to the left is only 100meters away.
Where as the boats on the right are 200meters down the lake. So It does have that sloping look.
Here is a straighter one

Yes, this one was not that big deal. However, it's much better now, isn't it. :) Getting the horizon really horizontal straight in camera during photographing can be sometimes pretty tricky. For instance, when photographing sea scenes from a boat board. :) I can remember my first trials to catch a sunrise with early compact digital camera with tiny LCD with poor resolution (from today's point of view; that time it was great). No one shot was horizontally OK although trying very hard. I had to rotate every one of them as could not survive a falling water borderline.

Electronic level as in Canon's EOS 7D would be helpful for such cases. Sometimes I missing it myself, especially for vertical-oriented shots. Should I send my hands (maybe eyes?) in a service for a little adjustment? :)
