Jackal - Panning

[Harshad Barve]

Dear all
Made this is Kanha NP with D700, 300/f4 , ISO 200, f5.6, 1/60, handheld
My first attempt for panning shot , got 3 frames , already deleted 2
is this worth as a keeper ? How to improve ?

All C & C are most welcome and much appreciated

My only blurs have been by accident, that said, I think you did really well here; nice sharp head and good sense of movement. I might give him more room to run into and lose that tree trunk.

in my opinion, that's a perfect pan blur!! love the detail in the jackal and the blurred bg. fantastic job!!!!

[Bill Dix]

I like it! This is tough to do - I've never succeeded - but you managed to keep the head fairly sharp, and the panning blur creates a great sense of movement. I concur that a bit of room to the right and maybe a bit off the left would help if you have the canvas. Nice job.

Really nice !!! Just the perfect shutter speed to the speed/distance !!! Agree on Bill's suggestion ... need more room for the animal to run into and would also crop top and bottom for accentuating speed !!! Big Congrats !!!

This is worth as a keeper for me. I like how you have the head sharp while the background blur to give sense of motion. The sticking out tongue is a plus too. Agree about more room on the right would make this even better.

Harshadbhai,
I like this pan blur very much, its well executed, I agree on giving it a tad more room to run...well done...:cool:

[Lance Peters]

Al's repost is on the money for me , the extra room and pano crop put it over the top.
Congrats :)

Nice pan blur, great nature image with supportive habitat. Both posts are good, I like the OP best.
