B & W in colour
Making the most of a high tide roost means making the most of the weather and sometimes it can work for you as I feel it did with this image. Even converting this colour image to B & W made little difference so I left it as a colour image. Interestingly I felt the OOF Avocet coming into land made a better image than when all the birds were sharp!

Cropped from the image below which in turn had been cropped to a pano!

Canon 1D MkIII + 500mm f6.3 iso 800 1/640

Great dynamic images (especially the panoramic) :toast: My minor suggestion is to crop a very tiny bit off the top of the first post to remove the dark bits on the top edge.

The Pano displays the WOW factor executed very well indeed.

They are both super shots but I think that the pano version certainly has the most impact.

Super shot David. I agree with the above re: seeing the pano larger, I prefer that version. Nice one.

The pano is superb, just needs to be viewed much much bigger!

David, love the panorama :toast: but the double-cropped version does nothing to me.

Both excellent, but pano for me :toast:
Posted by Ian Haskell on October 29, 2009 at 4:12 PM
That pano will look really nice at a larger size.

Nice pics

Nice stuff David - been away so hence the late comment! Pano will look great on a wall canvas.
