Haleakala Pano

Hi All!

I took this pano on a recent trip to Haleakalā National Park on Maui. This was on a hike after sunrise, and given the bright daylight I didn't bring my tripod as I didn't expect to shoot any long exposures. I wasn't really thinking about the opportunity for panoramas and regretted it almost immediately. This pano was shot handheld, but I am pleasantly surprised at how well it stitched together. The horizon is a little bit bowed, which I haven't spent the time to fix at this point, but I think it was pretty close to the best I could hope for given the circumstances. Sometimes when I look at it I think the foreground is a little too overpowering, but I also liked the main leading line of the trail leading through to the main crater, and the secondary curved leading line coming from the right side through the wash near the middle of the frame and bending around into the main crater area.What do you think? what are the strengths and weaknesses? What could I improve? Thanks in advance!
