Looking at the thumbnail I thought that there was too much space on the wrong side, I was wrong.

The Jackal looks like it needs just a little more sharpening and perhaps a slight boost to make it pop out from the BG, which by the way is stunning.

Nico - I like the pano and the bg. I agree with Ken that it needs more sharpening.

Like the pano crop and BG here Nico, agree on some USM on the Jackal.

Very cool BG and the pano is the right way to go with that BG. More sharpening on the animal as suggested and your done. Nice work.

lovely GC background Nico...to my eyes the jackal also isn't sharp enough. I would also rotate the image so his eartips line up which would make him appear to be standing more "level"

have you got some new glass??? :2eyes2:

Agree with others on the sharpening of the jackal and the stunning background.
