Which bundles? I assume one is the Dark Shark bundle. What is the other?

Yes the darksharrk SPA1 bundle and the LDN1217 bundle, Both from SPA1-CCD. I also downloaded the LDN1251 bundle to make a 3 panel but it was significantly off-set, meaning a significant crop (top to bottom) for final image and it was not adding much to the width so I just fleft it out. I may eventiually do the middle (shark) and right (LDN1251) as a two panel as the crop on that would be less of an issue.

Edited:

Really nice work David, my master frame is all three overlapping bundles, but as you say they are quite constrained by the off-set. I wanted to give the rotten fish a bit more space when I did my crop, it did pain me a bit not having more of the area below the dark shark, I really like all of this detail at the bottom of the frame so I'll probably revisit at some point.
