Knot & Oystercatcher

Taken last month in Norfolk shortly after high tide - larger version looks better but I'm not a wizard on the computer and unable to set up a link to a larger version so you will have to settle for this one.

Canon 1D MkII + 500f4 iso 200 1/200 at f16 (full width, cropped top and bottom)

I like it very much. The bands of birds match the bands of the landscape, and all in all it lends itself well to this panormaic crop.

Good work!

Agree the pano works very well here-very nice

I echo the comments above - would be nice to see a large version!

Hello Dave
Yes, I like this too, the pano effect works very well with the line of the horizon and the lines of birds.
I know what you mean about larger versions working better, I have been really disappointed with some of my geese shots when shown on monitors, yet when printed on A2 they really come to life , is it our lack of PS skills or just a sad fact of life?
Best wishes

Superb, great sense of scale with these flocks of waders. Yep, a monitor just doesn't do the shot justice.

I like this. I know what you mean about it not having the same impact small, I think our eyes just can't resolve the detail at this size. Like the pano comp and the colours. Would also like to see a segment from the middle so that the photo is just a wall of blue top to bottom with bands of oicks and knot running through if you understand what I'm trying to describe.

Nice one

John

Nice one Dave... like it loads, a refreshing view, Can also see what John is trying to describe.

Works well for me too.

Hi David,

This will look good at a bigger size. It works well with the bands running horizontally.
