Critiques and comments welcomed. Also advise would help me as a

beginner photographer. Thank you.

photo-stitch ha?! :)

Not a real bad stitch. A pretty scene. It looks like you got the frames lined up o.k., but there are brightness and contrast differences between the frames that leave visible lines. One thing you can do us to shoot panoramic frames on manual, so the auto exposure doesn't change the exposure between frames and make it harder to match them up. A center-axis head tripod is the 'joe-pro' way to do these because it ensures the lens axis remains constant, which, again, makes the stitching easier (that being said, I rarely even use a tripod for panoramics, because I can usually do the match-up work in photoshop). If you're doing the stitch manually (which I often prefer to the stitch programs because it gives you more control) with photoshop or similar, you can select the edge of each overlaying frame, then feather the selection and clear the edge. This will result in a soft blended edge rather than a hard line. The soft edge will blend with the frame over which you laid it easier.

Thank you, I will try what you suggest. I did stitch this though with an automatic stitching program, Photostitch, so it might be better if done manually.
