I had a talk with Gimpilator once about this, it seems as though Panorama's are not as appreciated as normal photos.
I posted a photo and panorama as an experiment. Here is the Vertical Photo:

And here is the panorama:

And I know it's not a matter of hits, because the panorama that is a much lower score has way more views than the other which speaks out to me that the non panorama is more appreciated. So as a result I been less motivated to post panorama's if they are "unpopular". Or perhaps the real reason is that most people look at the medium sized picture which a panorama "doesn't show much detail" while the vertical photo shows a lot in the medium sized view. And on top of it, panorama's take up way more space on summitpost than a normal photo. So should I keep posting panoramas?
