Korean Cranes(the birds, that is)

I don't usually do wildlife shots, the animals in Korea are rather skittish and my biggest glass is an 80-200mm. Still, when I'm close enough to get a photo of the animals running away, I try and fire off a shot!

Here they are making a leisurely get away:

Here they are again, there are actually only 4 birds, but I panned left and recomposed and let them fly into frame again...I know it's cheating, but, hey, it works!

    I really like the crop on the second image, beautiful light in both images. Well done. thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Cheers Harry,
    When I saw the rhythm in the landscape as the birds approaching, I thought to myslef "That would be a nice pano", so that's what gave me the idea to shoot it like that.
