Gull in Pano Frame

[Joe Senzatimore]

From last night at the beach with some NWPLI friends. Getting a bit tired of the usual bird and chick images, (sorry if I sound jaded), so I decided to leave the big glass in the car and travel light to do some flight images. Shot this with my 300F4 , which I don't use very often. After looking at some of what I shot , I realized I should pull it out of the bag more often.
Chose a pano crop as it just seemed to fit. Interested in your thoughts.

I like this one Joe.
Tack sharp, nice pano crop and whites look great,

I like the pano crop, but if it were mine, I'd move it slightly (not much) up in the frame. Try some cropping L's to see if it makes a difference for you.

I also like this shot. I like panos of BIF and this one is nice and clean. Sharp and good exposure on the whites. Good Job!

Well done.

It is tack sharp and very nice exposure, Joe.
I agree with Don about moving it up in the frame if you can.

Very sharp and good details in the white plumage. The panoramic crop works well, final comp. is up to you - it is your image! Well done.
