I went to Wrestlemania 28 on vacation & was sitting in the press box. I was in the front row of the suite, so I had a clear view of the stadium. I know that some people here know I've got a shoulder injury & haven't been able to take pictures for several months, but I had a little table top tripod to set a camera up on which was perfect for me so I didn't have to hold the camera. I've always wanted a panoramic stadium photo from a Wrestlemania & I saw this as my chance. I have no clue why the WWE doesn't sell these. They could make a killing. I took 42 photos & stitched them together in photoshop. I jazzed it up with a border and logo. The photo originally gigantic, but I sized it down to 14x36 inch canvas. I'm on the fence about the WWE logos & the "once in a lifetime" tag line. I can't decide if I want to keep the logos or not, and if I want to change the placement of the tag line. I'm searching for a good print house to get it printed for a reasonable price. But first I need to be sure on the placements. And before someone says this should be on the graphics board, it's still a WWE photo taken at a live event & we always post those here. So, without further ado, here it is. Feel free to give me your feedback.

That is amazing man, like... wow!
I like the tag line being there, the two WWE logos I would scrap though. Maybe have one somewhere else. But otherwise, it looks brilliant.

I'd ditch the two WWE logos, but other than that, It's awesome!

I prefer to have all logos below the picture when I do a pano. And that's the only thing I see wrong with this.
Also have you looked into having it printed by Mpix?

Wow great work, its an excellent looking panorama. Will look very nice properly printed and mounted. Like you, I dont think the WWE logos are necessarily. It doesnt look bad but I think it may look better without. Also add some more black to the top and bottom of the black frame just so you let the logo at the top and text at the bottom breath more. Looks awesome though!

Thanks everyone thus far for the feedback.
-The more I look at it, I'm probably going to take off the side logos. My roommates have been saying the same thing. There is still a WWE logo in the WM logo, so it should end up ok. It all just looked very empty up top, but I think I'm going to move the "once in a life time" closer to the sides & make it a little bigger. It might even it out.
Kitten mitten: I did look at mpix. They are pretty much on par with with the other sites I've looked at. Its all been within $10 of each other. I'm going to have to pick a bigger size & then cut it down myself because its such a random size.
Kaneisadeadman: I went with the 14x36 because I have a really nice custom frame for another panoramic photo I've got that I'm replacing. I might size down the WM logo a bit to give it a tad more room. Its already 5 inches wide so I don't think it will look too small. Its a little tough to see here but I've got a quarter of it inch of space on the top & bottom of the photo for room, plus a small white border around it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Kazooandstreamers: I've had a few people already inquire. I'm a little hesitant to for a few reasons: 1-the price is going to be pretty high for the print alone & leaves me little room for profit (unless I size it down to half its size). 2- I signed a waiver for the WWE that I wouldn't sell anything. And before I got hurt I was shooting WWE shows & when I'm healed up I'd prefer to stay on their good side. I'm convinced they have a little black book that I DON'T want my name in haha.

From what I understand and what I've been told you can just make your file one of their standard sizes and just put "Excess:please trim" on the extra parts and they will trim i and actually even ship you the excess material since you paid for it.

I'd lose the WWE logos in the corners, but keep the Once In A Lifetime. Looks awesome!
