Excellent!!
The floor pattern is amazing, and helps make the composition.

I really like this technique . Clever and effective.

I've pondered doing that, but my shadow messed up my only partial attempt
Very good choice of location, the pattern makes it work and also probably helps the stitching.

I think the technique used is based on this (but I must say digitalCG's efforts are a great deal more effective than the examples in the link).
The 'wrapping' part is the conversion to polar coordinates.
One thing I find frustrating about it is that if the original pano is cylindrical then the ground gets stretched a lot. Then in making it polar it gets squeezed again. There must be a way of doing this using a spherical projection from the outset, although avoiding having your feet in the picture would be interesting!
