    Nice pano Garth …. you have some great ocean action in the background too, excellent capture!! Oh! and you took the time to count the birds as well! That should keep every one busy making sure you got it right!!

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you John, once I had the birds lined up I waited for the right wave action and snapped each time the ocean obliged. I think this was the best of about 5 or 6.

    Great shot, love the colour of the sea, I can’t believe you counted them! maybe like me titles are the hardest bit, good one though

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Suellen, LOL and yes titles can be hard (especially when I already called a shot Crested Terns ) hence the counting and the name. LOL
