beautiful photograph .... scrolling down i wondered where the panning was ... then i saw the bird ..... wow ...... love the contrast between the boats and the bird .... =9
looks as though the shutter speed was just a tad to fast to get a real sence of motion, nice shot though, if the bird were a little closer it would have helped
the shot is great.. I just think that the background is more interesting and clear (not blurred) enough to impart a sense of speed... perhaps a longer exposure would have made the shot..
when I looked at the photograph for the first time, I attention went on to the boat and not on the bird, i guess the boat is making this shot nervous!!!
this could have been an awesome pic. I'm not sure if it's because i have to scroll down to see the actual focus of the photo or if it's just not framed right. I think you did what you asked to....so 8 it is
i think this is a perfect example of panning but the subject is too small. the bird seems to almost blend in and leaves you looking at mostly a blurred image.
