I think your Maiden image is a really good contrast with mine, as yours is in color and a normal 35mm frame. In the PRO of using the panoramic format, I think my image shows more of the surrounding buildings, giving it a full context of "cage of steel" surrounding the sculpture. I also gave Prometheus more room to himself, although the wide angle put him a bit far away. Color vs. B&W, well, I do wish the golden Prometheus shows through but c'est la vie. It's individual's choice of which framing / format appeals to them but it's really cool that we have 2 images to do some comparison with. Thanks again.
