A very nice shot szekiat.

But i dont know if i like the "pano" crop, its made it look very tight top and bottom :confused:

Ahhh bless!!

Have to agree with Alan though, the pano looks a bit cramped, but image quality looks good :wavey:

thanks for the feedback. I'm currently addicted to the pano look for some reason. The regular 6x4 look just seems so weird to me these days. Obviously been shooting my xpan too much!

Agree that this crop doesn't suit the image that well. Worth messing around with a variety of crops I reckon :toast:

Hi Szekiat

Lovely detailed image. Like you I have a bit of a thing for panoramic formats at present but would agree that it has made the image a bit cramped. Don't know how much you have cropped but if you could pull out bit and place the ducklings a bit lower and to the left of a pano format I think it would work well.

Hi Szekiat....

Lovely image of these two youngsters, but have to agree I not a huge fan of the crop, like the angle...
