American Fork Canyon - Which Is Better?

[Photo-John]

I did a mountain bike ride in American Fork Canyon, south of Salt Lake City, this weekend. The wildflowers at 8000 feet were spectacular and I had to stop for a couple of photos in a meadow at the summit. First I zoomed for a long shot and then I decided I should do a panoramic to show the whole meadow. I'm wondering what other's think of the two photos. I won't say which one I like better. What do you like and why? Please be specific - no "nice photo" answers. That's not what this forum is for.

I'm going to upload a larger version of the panoramic to my gallery if anyone wants to see it bigger. The forum isn't the best place to look at panoramic photos.

Both of these were taken with the Sony Cybershot TX5 waterproof P&S camera, my current P&S of choice for outdoor photos. In particular, I like the iSweep Panorama function, which I used for this panoramic photo - just hold down the shutter release button and pan and the camera does everything else for you.
