Sigghhhh.

Doug, the two pics you posted.  Are they unaltered; straight from the 
camera? (apart from sizing, of course.)

Or have you already "used software to fix the images"?

I suspect not.

Those two photos are taken from the same location - to within an inch or
so.

Unless you have divided them (or one of them) into at least a dozen
expertly 
selected different-depth layers, (an appallingly-difficult and usually 
unsatisfactory operation) and moved those layers horizontally in order to 
artificially match the effect of having been taken at the same location.

....which of course you haven't.

Don't bother trying to explain how you need to use software to adjust the 
perspective at the edges.  I understand that perfectly, and have done it 
hundreds of time on my panos. (Single location panos, I should point out.)


Doug - look at the pole!  It lines up with the distant yacht *perfectly*
in 
both shots.  Are you claiming that you have already altered the pics to 
achieve that effect?
Or are the pics "as-taken"?

They were taken from the same spot.
Anybody with an elementary knowledge of perspective and/or stereo imaging 
can see that in an instant.

Come clean and admit you goofed here, Doug.
Post two shots that *are* baseline-separated, and show us how you merge 
them.

I'd honestly like to see that.
