Coming into land
Hi all

I've been editing a few images I took a few years ago and came across this one that I thought i'd share. I've cropped it to panoramic to lose a lot of empty sky and sea. I hope it works. I've used the ratio 8:3. Is there a general ratio that is normally used for panoramics.

Comments and critisms welcome.

Cheers

Ian

Works good for me Ian,
There is no general ratio that is used for panoramics.

Works well but I might get rid of the odd wing on the right.

I like A 3:1 Ratio: replicates the X-Pan

Hi Ian,

Love this! The line made by the Oystercatchers and the waves behind make it IMO.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Lovely pano. I made my pano's as I like them, no special ratio. I also never heard of a special ratio.

The pano crop works well. Very nice image. :smile:
I also like a 3:1 ratio for panaromics.

Like the pano and compositionbut agree with Mark's comment on the clipped wing.

works for me as well Ian, I would like to see a larger version. I might be tempted to clone the 2 birds on the right hand side that are clipped by the edge of the frame.

Hi everyone

Thanks for your comments. They are very encouraging. I agree about the two birds to the right of the frame. With Matts comments on the larger version, how do I go about putting the 1000px version on? Ive seen it on a few peoples post now but i cant see anywhere on how to do it.

Cheers
