Quivira pano
Another shot from a recent trip to central Kansas...this is a 5 shot pano (put together with AutoPano Pro) taken at sunrise in the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, another wetlands south of Cheyenne Bottoms. I grew up not to far from Quivira and Cheyenne Bottoms and never visited them...now I can't wait to go back!

And this time I was able to photograph some birds!

A superb pano captures the moment well. I can't wait to revisit.

Scott,
Really like the lines and the reflections, very nicely done!

That pano is terrific. I like Quivira but had never thought of trying a pano there. I wish we could see it bigger, hanging on a wall somewhere.

Nice pano Scott.

The pano is nicely done Scott, the comp with the rocks and shore curving out is very appealing to me.
And a wonderful action shot of what I guess is a snow goose? Anyway cool beans Mr. Bean. Sorry just had to say that! :biggrin:

The pano really captures the wide vistas available in central Kansas. Colors are just stunning. Thanks for adding the goose shot . . . for us birders.

gorgeous pano, Scott. It looks like your second shot is one of the Trumpeter or Tundra swans that have been in residence this winter. I can't tell the difference without a better look at the head.

Scott, this pano is one of my favorites of yours, really nice scene! The presentation reminds me a lot of how my shots seem to turn out and I'm wondering if this couldn't benefit from a little more brightness? (Not a compliant, just an observation).

Nice swan too. Looks like a productive trip to the QNWR. :toast:
