Panoramic photographs can be stunning for their ability to capture such a unique amount of information.  However we sometimes forget that though they may be unusual these wide angel images must hold interest to the viewer other than just their vista.  The most common problem with this type of image is a lock of a strong subject.  Too often there is little to hold our attention within the vast expanse of scenic view.

This is our first true panorama photograph.  This image consists of sixteen photos stitched together using Photoshop elements 6.  The subject is the city of Tucson Arizona.  There is a rain shower in the frame on the right side.  On the left is the city down town area.  When I first saw this image I thought if was the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.

I would like to make a few suggestions to the photographer.  The image appears to be a little washed out in color and saturation.  The photo-artist may wish to consider working with the levels and curves on the computer to add a little contrast and color to the composition.  Also a viewer not familiar with the location might find the scene lacking a focal point, something to attract and hold their attention within the frame.
