I am really impressed.
I am really impressed too  is beautiful
Did you used the new exposure fusing built in PTGui 7.7beta ?
For the first one you might consider a bit strong sun now has RGB 250,250,250, to match with the shadows but again good enfusing job.
The sun can be ampliffied with another enfusion of the final equirectangular with an adjusted version of final equirectangular where the sun look a bit stonger (use tone curve adjustmets in your favorite graphic editor)
That will have also an extra benefit in saturate a bit your pano.
Something like this
original
enfused with sun stronger

thanks for sharing,

They do look nice.
I would be interesting to see one of them stitched without enfuse just with the best exposed set of photographs for comparison.

You can enfuse again the resulted equirectangular w/ or w/o ps work with another equirectangular maybe, the best exposed one, from those 7 again w/ or w/o ps work
What I suggested was to take the resulted equi then to adjust the curve level until you have a stronger sun then to enfuse the resulted equi with the adjusted one

First I do not understand why you are using 7 brackets for a scene like this.
There is not more dynamic range than you can handle with a single RAW image. You are not doing real HDR but just compressed dynamic range for web.
3 bracketed is more than enough for most subjects.
I know that many Nikons can not handle doing 3 with 2EV difference but than you just discharche the ones in between,
Using 7 images will doubling the time used for each pano and there is no way you can bill your clients for that.
You say you used the new PTgui with Enfuse.
Well the news in PTGui is that it has a built in own Fuse which actually works much better than Enfuse,
PTgui fuse has much more control than Enfuse but it is the first Beta and there may be some bugs. 16bits is not supported in the first version.

thank you hans.
you may be correct on logical part but based on my two years practice work i enhanced my work a lot and i found that sometimes 3 or 5 brackets are not enough to equalize the image light and have to compromise on may be windows and or dark areas.
all i can say is if i do 7 then i have everything perfect to mask out burned areas with very darker shot which may be cannot achieve with just 3 or sometimes 5 shots.
even some indoor lights are need proper dark shots and in 7 bracket we can get that.
for outdoors/exteriors it may be okay to get 3 or 5 brackets as i do it sometimes if light is allow me to do.
based on your suggestion i will try today stitching just 3 or 5 bracket among all 7 and test how it gives the result.
thanks a ton Hans.
