Juv. Red Knot II

Same bird as previous post. I wish I had the feet visible here...
Added canvas top and left, also did major cleanup of the sand.
As in the previous post, I used flash to even out the shadows.

CC appreciated.

Nice composition and the pose is nice. Nice PP work.

Head angle and exposure control look good. Maybe a bit more sharpening?

I like the colors, inclusion of habitat, and the cross-legged pose. Missing feet don't bother me as the sand looks wet and I'd expect him to sink in a bit. Nice work with the flash, looks very natural to me.

Lightr was not ideal, but exposure, pose, detail and BG are very nice, I would suggest to warm it up a tad.
Congratulations!

Thank you for the comments, appreciated very much.

Now that you mention it I think I see a bit of cast on the blue/cold side, thanks Ramon.
