Never tire of watching swans taking off and landing. Beautiful image that captures the action. The pano crop works well.

The pano was a good choice for this Peter, nicely captured, it looks like it might need just a touch of ccw rotation. devil

I could look at this for a long, long time. It's so interesting with that many swans but yet most of them completely separate.

Excellent, Peter. I like the quartering direction of the takeoffs and the birds look nice and crisp. This should look fantastic printed really large.
