A very nice panoramic.

The lapwing look good in silhouette, their head feathers stand out so well
And I like the colour in the water too.

Hi Andy

Quite different and well seen - not too sure about the island in the BG. However overall I still like the image!

Interesting pano Andy,

I'd personally crop the top off to only include a small part of the island with no water above it. Very nice though and there's no mistaking the Lapwings.

I'm a little undecided on this one.On one hand it portrays a wonderful mood and atmosphere and you couldn't wish for a better species to be shown in silhouette :cool: .But I'm not overly keen on the backdrop which is just a little too distracting to make this really work,at least IMHO.
