up the road running along Petite Baie (Small Bay ) , Magdalen Islands ,

Quebec . Click on the image for better viewing , what do you think ?

Carol,  Aren't these remote outposts interesting!  This reminds me of outpost towns in Newfoundland.  I like the reflections here.  Maybe getting more area in to the right would have enhanced the balance, but I wasn't there, so I can't give an opinion.  Might you want to crop more from the foreground and sky to achieve an even more panoramic look.  The cropped version could be made from a duplicate and saved as a separate image.  Excellent image. Thanks for posting this.  Larry

I drew a conclusion from the thumbnail and I shouldn't have.  I thought I wasn't going to like this.  On the contrary.  Despite it's simplicity, I really like it.  The color of the houses against the somewhat bland landscape is very appealing and imagination stirring.  I agree with Larry that the right side seems a little truncated but I start thinking about how pleasant it would be to live so simply and forget all about the right side.  I don't think it would be as compelling without the wonderful lighting and excellent exposure.  Well done!

Well, I think it's beautiful!
It is a stark image, no lush vegetation to add unnecessary detail. I love the combination of simple hills, water and sky, with the cluster of houses providing a few specks of color and interest. Well done!

Thank you Larry and Jeff for your very good comments , sorry for the late reply :  i moved into a new flat , still a bit busy sprucing the place up  ! I have such photo on my desktop Larry ( more of the bottom and top left out and as Jeff mentioned also showing more of the village to the right and the sea at left .. ) . It's my preferred version and is as good if not better but in the end  i opted not to submit that one ... generally those ultra panos ( mine i 'd say ) are not very popular among the viewers ..i displayed three or four on other sites which  barely generated any views let alone any comments/reviews at all , perhaps it's me fretting ..again hey.. but decided to go for a more conventional 16:9 format . Thanks again to both of you for taking the time to review this one , very much appreciated ! Best regards , Carol 

Thank you Christoph for your friendly comment,  i truly appreciate your amiable words , best regards , Carol
