That seems way higher than 100 feet up.  It looks great, the only tip I have is find the focal point and square it up to draw the eye in, also make sure the horizon stays horizontal otherwise you'll get a glitch that will require some photoshoping or a retake.  I have started taking two pano shots in the same location if the winds are pushing the drone around, then I am able to merge the better of the two shots into the final product.  Like in this tiny planet I did https://forum.dji.com/thread-141086-1-1.html I took the first one with my kids in front of the building, then I sent them to the car, because we were leaving and I set the drone to take another group of shots.  If I didn't do that I would have had a ruined shot, the wind caught the drone and down the whole middle of the sign it was skewed by about an inch.

But either way your first attempt was really good, your lines met up nice.  Now it's time to ditch beginner mode and unleash the Spark!

Hey, thank you for your advise! That picture actually edited in a third party application, I just take the panorama shot in the Spark. Your Mini Planet looks amazing!

Can I ask something, the location where the drone hovers is the Mini Planet's center?

Thank you again!

Actually the drone wasn't directly in the center of that one.  It was close, I use Microsoft ICE to edit mine and you have some wiggle room to line it up.  I like to find a perpendicular line to my focal point and line it up with the middle.

Ok, I got it. I only use a mobile photo editor on mine. Will take note on that. Thank you!

Yeah anytime.  I know there are others out there to edit, but ICE is free and user friendly.  Oh and did I say free.
