Serenity

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I photographed this bathing Sanderling at first light a couple of days ago and really like the pinkish morning light. I tried different crops and liked this one best. No noise reduction was necessary despite the relatively high ISO.

Boy you really captured the light well Axel. Very pretty. Nice and sharp as well. It feels a tad tight for me on the bottom. Lovely photo. Dave

This is exceptional for the light and sharpness factor. Such a great little bird and especially that it thinks it's a duck? :D

Hi Axel

comp is fine for me as is. love the light and low angle! IMO it could use a little more very slight sharpening

[Ramon M. Casares]

Wonderfull way to start a day. Nice light and calm pose, detail, exppsure and low angle are great as well. Congratulations!

[Aidan Briggs]

Love the great light, serene mood, and perfect exposure. Maybe a bit more room on the right if you have it.

[Phil Ertel]

Hi Axel, Great light, good angle of capture, good detail, and well exposed. All this adds up to a pleasing image. Thanks for sharing.

[Simon Bennett]

Lovely light and interesting pose.

[Stu Bowie]

Sweet light Axel, and it sure does seem as if he doesnt have a worry in the world. I would maybe move him back a tad to get him away from being central.

[Dave Barnes]

Super light and great low angle. I like the mood captured.
