nice composition, but it seems very grainy. Low end camera?

A pretty landscape with great cloud interest. Very serene.
The crop at the bottom edge seems to include a row of white pixels.

Beautiful panorama, but you're trying to tell me this is silent? Composition, more foreground and less sky. 5

A little grainy, but very nice composition. The clouds look more grumbling and angry then silent, but I like that the city is too far away to hear... The color tones are nice, not loud! :)

Wow, it feels like we're looking at this scene from a hundred miles away! This is what all panoramas should be like.

I can hear the traffic behind you... or can I ? The bay looks calm so not too much wind noise & there is a peaceful calm about the picture. It's nearly monochromatic with 'Natures Black & White filter. (well bluish). I love that bay and the city by it... I think I can actually hear Otis Redding singing in the distance .... and that's good!

The clouds are well expressed but the cityscape and the mountains are not as atractiv. Have you tried to convert it to B&W? Think warmer whitebalance and maybe longer exposure would have made a better image.

Seeing those clouds makes me think I can hear a rumble of thunder.

clouds look really nice but the picture just doesnt make me think of slience. Also I would like to see more defined colors.

This seems to be very noise in the blue. The far cityscape is a good silence theme.

City shots (even from a distance) make me think more of traffic sounds than silence.
