Early Morning Take Off

Did this last year to see what would happen. Never thought to post it until now.

Pretty much perfect SS for a blur for me, nice work.

[Bill Dix]

Works very nicely. Love what the blur did for the water spray.

[Grace Scalzo]

While I'm not usually a fan of blurs, this is quite inviting. Like Bill said, love the spray. I might consider a crop from the bottom to make this a strong pano. Appreciate your finishing touch of the fine red frame. Just right. I see a repeating pattern on the right edge of the frame.

[William Dickson]

Quite artistic David. Lovely colours and the spray makes the image stand out.

Great to see something different, not up on all the technical bits but this is very pleasing to my eyes, real nice work.

[Daniel Cadieux]

That is some serious water action back there! Great job panning. I suppose you extended the canvas at right hence the repeating patterns.

[Marina Scarr]

This is a very strong image. You really chose the perfect speed. Agree with Grace on cropping some from the bottom to make it even stronger. You will have more focus on your bird with less space on the bottom. As it is now, that extra space pulls the eye away from an amazing subject.

Hi David, can only echo Dan K's comment, nice work indeed.

If you do decide to recrop then a 16x9 coming up from the bottom RH corner lends itself very nicely to RoT's I feel, but you may feel it's too tight at the foot, just another option.
