Hi Jaime,
The panorama is a superb set of natural sienna'a and green and with living clouds above, stretched out over this landscape. I'd consider, perhaps cloning out the extra branches intruding from the left edge and then adding just 0.5 cm to the right to construct the right edge of the clouds. With such a wide scene and great clouds, it's an idea to have whole formations so as not to give the appearance that we need to move outside the frame to find something missing. If we leave out an element within the frame, it becomes a puzzle to solve with our knowledge, expectations and imagination. However, IMHO, it's best not to feel we have to leave the frame in such a peaceful landscape.
Remarkably, this one picture can yield two further, and equally impressive, panoramas. both a possible because of the HDR assembling such a rich set of tonalities in the sky so a slim remnant of the sky height can easily balance the entire height of the land below. Not only that. A strip of the upper 40% of the land works well with the entire glorious height of the so well detailed and dynamic clouds, like the richest pillows, powdered wigs and silk embroidered kerchiefs from the courts of Louis XIV in Versailles.
