No offense, but the borders really distract me. I'm not a big fan of borders. I was going to say something in your "neighborhood" thread as someone ran off an edit and the biggest improvement was the lack of border, but I accidentally closed the thread before responding.
That first shot is nice. The second shot is lacking due to the lesser FOV in comparison to the first, but that's just my opinion. Both look like they could use a slight leveling. The waterline looks like it's leaning a tad to the left.
Oh, I forgot about the autoresize thing on the forum. Just viewed it at the original size and that first shot is even better
This widescreen stuff on my work laptop is nice. Wish I had wide screen for the home PC so I could view 1024 px photos on it.
