Alright, here goes my very FIRST post on the forums ever (been watching from the sidelines, impressed by the quality of everyone's work on here)
I am an amateur who got into photography by trying to capture memories of my daughters. I've been at it for a few years now, started with point 'n' shoot cameras and have slowly worked my way into a D-SLR (Canon T2i)
A few months ago saw my first HDR picture and I am trying to get the hang of it. Please provide me as much feedback so I can try to improve.

This is really cool! Looks like a fantastic, detailed pen and ink drawing. Plus when I was a kid and went to Cubs games back in the late 1960's we pretty much always sat on this side of the field but a bit further back. Thanks for sharing!

Really like the editing. It goes very well with the vintage look of Wrigley.

As a Cubs fan who's been to many games at Wrigley Field, thanks for the capture. I agree, the editing of this picture has the feel of pen art. Well done!

I like it. The pano-stitching process seems to have curved the facade on the top of the grandstands down the third base line between the first and second light stanchions.

If not for the people standing up in front of you, the back of my head might have been in this shot…small World.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback.
As far as the settings, I took 4 shots panning them (hand held) and also had the bracketing option selected on my camera at (-3,0,+3) exposure levels for a total of 12 shots. Processed them in PhotoMatrix Pro 64bit, and then stitched them together and adjusted levels in Photoshop CS5.
