Jim, This is cute. The exposure and details look very good. I like the catchlight.

[Nick Palmieri]

Love the legs. Looks like you got this guy at a nice low angle.

Gorgeous image! I would have probably chosen a standard 2:3 crop rather than this pano but I have to admit it works beautifully.

I tried this with a standard crop originally, but liked the pano better. Also considered a larger overall image showing the chick in the vastness, but felt that this one warranted attention more directly on the subject.

I think you made the right choice...;)

Love the fine detail in the fuzz and I do agree that your crop works well. Only thing that bothers me a bit is the incomplete shadow.

Jim, I like the low angle here a lot. IQ excellent as always. I do like this crop. lots of details...well done.

Lovely fuzzball, and nice of DOF. Not sure about the truncated shadow.

[Jim Fenton]

I thought about removing the shadow but kinda liked it more with it in there as I thought it gave some directionality to the light?
