I have a suggested crop on shot 1, Can i try it?

absolutely ... I have another sot of this, with the foreground not so predominant ...

and thanks all for your kind words ... I will tell the tree ....

I think you read my mind on the foreground then Matt, here's my edit - straight crop ( could have left another 1/4-1/2 inch perhaps) with a hint of leveling and save to web. Makes for a fine pano imo.
If I had the original file I probably would have cropped a bit off the left but still kept the same width overall if that makes sense, but because I don't have it, had i made that crop, it would have looked too small compared to original.

I was liking the second one better, but now seeing that cropped pano, it is now my favourite.

Really likin' that pano shot. Especially befits the title so well now.

Yup, Marko did a great job. I have since reworked this image as well, in the original ... funny what happens when you use different white balances ...

2 nice shots but my chioce would be the second one.

Both are great, the 2nd is my favorite. But that pano look really gives the expanse a nice compliment. That needs to be my back yard though!
