pano crop works well here Stephen
I also like the line of wildebeest moving upwards on the left bank to break the "one-plane-motion"

I am wondering if a 180 degree flip would make it flow better...in other words have the wildebeest moving from left to right in the frame, as the eye "reads"? :)

Would also like to see a B&W of this...

Well seen to make this a Pano. I like the diagonal on the left. A very strong composition with the animals acting as a leading line.

[Todd Frost]

Well seen and pano presentation works well. Nice exposure and color. Well done.

Pano works really well. Would consider a bit more room at the bottom.

[Hilary Hann]

Nice pano presentation, really like it. Love the details in the bank and the way the animals flow through the water and up the slope.

[Steve Canuel]

Neat shot. I like the pano crop and how the river comes in from the right side. My favorite thing about it though is the undulating line of wildes. Deep channel on the right, island in the middle, another deeper channel, then up the river bank. Nice.

Stephen - well composed and captured. Pano works well to tell the story.

Stephen,

Another interestingly different slant on the normal crossing shots, this is great VWD
