You have produced a good image, John but, as you imply here, it is a matter of personal taste and I belong to the 'not keen' group.
I think it is more to do with the so-called 'letterbox format' rather than being a panorama - this squashed format gives me a feeling of claustrophobia, which seems to be contrary to the purpose of a panoramic view.
The technique works better for me when the individual shots are captured with the camera in portrait orientation, and stitched to give a final landscape image format up to about 5:2 ratio. This would enable more foreground to be included in photos such as yours here.
Your image gives me a strong desire to see what there is below this side of the wall, which is what I would be able to see if I was standing there, unless I was trapped in a pillbox looking through one of its narrow gun apertures.
Cheers.
