Three photos stitched together with Canon photostitch software. Taken with Canon S45. Is the subject boring? Any suggestions for different ways of taking the shot that might make it more dramatic or interesting?

The subject is not boring, but could benefit from better light and a better sky. Check it out at different times of the day to see when it looks best, and try it again when the sky is more dramatic. Stitched panos are great - but sometimes hard to do. The goal should be to not make it look like a pano, and I see a little curving on the left that makes it look like a pano. More shots to work with and especially shooting on a level tripod will help here.

Thanks for your input. I'll try to reshoot with better lighting and a more dramatic sky. The good thing is this park is pretty close to my house so I have no excuse not to go back. Also, you are absolutely right about the curving on the left. I'll have to get that corrected for next time.

Thanks again for your comments.

A bit too far away I think. Would be more compelling if you were say, 10-15 yards closer, and then capturing with a slightly upward-looking wide angle view. Sort of give it an "imposing" feel vs. "far off". Also I think the lighting has to be more dramatic since the subject matter is very "sterile" / linear in nature.
