Red Knot

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Photographed on Long Island in August in late evening light. I'm wondering if you would clone out the little bubbles.

Beautiful light and colours. I'd keep the bubbles.

Lovely low angle, and keep the bubbles Axel. This is pin sharp too. Great capture.

[Juan Aragonés]

I do not mind about the bubbles Axel. I think that the hidden left feet is a little bit dissapointing. The light is excelent and the only thing I would made on this excelent image is to tone down a little bit the BG to made the knot to pop up from the BG.

I must say this pops alot now!! Nice image!!

Beautiful shot, nice warm light as the whole bird is illuminated. As like others I too would keep the boubles.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I agree with Juan but I wouldn't have noticed the hidden feet myself. Congratualtions! Terrific shot!

Beautiful light, nice pose, and crisp detail. It seems like I am a minority of one, but I would get rid of the bubbles.

[Fabs Forns]

Lovely colors and pose. I think the bubbles work, but it would also work without them. Undecided.

[Neil Losin]

I like the bubbles :) I think it'd look to sterile without them. Killer light too. Nice work, Axel!
