[Leica] Friday flowers HW pano

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

For years I've stood under these or other cherry trees like them 
trying to make an image that comes close to the feeling I get looking 
up. Wideangle, even fisheye images didn't do it; this one does it 
better for me than others I have taken. A slight bit of vertigo is 
part of it. In part is is because of the strange shape of the 
horizon; an odd hyperboloid rather than any expected shape. I've 
taken this shot with a Noblex and with a Roundshot, but in those 
cases the horizon was too regular. When I did this I took a number of 
different series and this one gave me the horizon line I wanted. CS4 
merged them and managed to provide the extra twist.

I've previously found that stitching software does some odd things 
with horizons on cylindrical panos.
