A sight to see, that's for sure. I'm not so keen on the pano format - I'd prefer to see as much of the environment as possible. Well done on getting the shot though.

Thought it was eating 'noodles' ... my mistake! I quite like the pano format but on this image I don't think it totally works, perhaps because the birds head is looking the wrong way. I would much preferred to see the head turned towards the right which would then lead into the rest of the frame. As it stands, the space to the right of the bird is somewhat dead space.
