panning sting ray

hi all,

still in experimental movement mode with this image. this is a diamond sting ray from the galapagos. quite a large chap. i'm quite pleased with the movement, and feel the eyes hold the image well, but obviously look forward to other peoples views.

also experimenting with a new copyright stamp, is it too interfering with the image? or maybe not obvious enough?

regards,

mark

Too interfering it ruins the picture in my view. I think some of your underwater photographs are excellent however I also think many people ruin there images with too large copyright stamps.

Another very interesting U/W image Mark, I think it is almost there, but feel that there is maybe too much motion on the stingray.... perhaps a bit of second curtain flash might have done the trick? that would allow you to get the panning motion plus a sharper image of the fish at the end of the pan.

Not fond of the © mark Mark :biggrin: , it interferes with the image, when I first viewed it I was trying to work out what it was on the fish....

All the best

Hi Mark

I'm afraid it does not work for me - makes my head spin. I do however like the idea with your copyright!
