Lillian Lake is along Galatea Creek in the Kananaskis area of Alberta.

This was stitched from 13 portrait images and covers 260 degrees. It was hand-held & so has some stitching artifacts due to the moving water and parallax effects. The clouds blew out a bit, but I am partial to how the colours turned out overall though.

I stretched the your pano across two 24" monitors and it really jumps out and looks wonderful. Sharp from near to far. I like the colors and although might spend a little time on the blown sky on the left, my vision tends to stop at the detail in the mountains anyway. Only the curvature of the foreground logs hits me a little funny. A really nice print at 24"x60" if you enjoy panos as I do. Thanks for the post.

Just notice you mentioned it was HANDHELD at only f6.7. That makes it an amazing accomplishment.

This pano captured my attention and wouldn't let go. Wonderful.

Thank you imtheguy. I appreciate your comments. I enjoy taking panos although to date they've all been handheld & never seen a printer. I'm still starting out, so a good tripod with a pano-type heads remains on the wish list. Of course then I wouldn't get to spin around on a little rock out in the lake with a perspective bending viewfinder to the eye

Unless you are including very close foreground items, you can get by fine without the dedicated pano head. Any head that "locks" so that once you level it, it stays level throughout the pano rotation will work fine.
