Hallo Ivan
The colours and markings on this elegant bird's feathers is very clear and obvious. All in focus showing great details. Truly amazing, and a real delight to look at. Perfect exposure and natural background. A beautiful presentation of this beauty. It looks as if this bird is in deep concentration and focusing on where it is about to go. The brightly coloured paws is really something to look at, and it displays beautifully. Well framed and presented. Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Ivan!

You have captured this particular bird in a perfect manner. The legs colour is surprising and I wonder why the legs have to be like that.

I appreciate the picture in the workshop very much. It does not only show you at "work", but also reflects are marvellous landscape.

Kind regards

Hola Ivan,
Una preciosa foto, muy bien trabajada. Ésta especie da la impresión de que no es fácil de captar. La foto del hábita es la guinda. Saludos cordiales.

An excellent capture of this Redshank Ivan.
Wonderful colours and detail in the plumage.
I really like Ullas shot of you by the water with that amazing backdrop.
That looks like a very dry landscape to me.
Very nice work.
Cheers

Thanks to Ulla, you can be seen in action in the workshop, Ivan.
That helps in realizing and appreciating your chosen point of view.
From it, you have managed a very good shot of a Redshank.
With its long stride in view, it appears to be in a hurry to get away from you.
Well done and TFS.

Hej Ivan,
a very fine capture of rödbenan, the red legs are really amazing. It's well exposed with nice light and colours.
Good sharpness and fine details. I like the weak reflection in the water.
Tack för att du sätter ut de svenska namnen.
Det är riktigt sk-tväder nu, bara regn och rusk, all snö är borta.

This is an extremely good use of workshop Ivan and Ulla...I would have never in a million years thought of this bird in this very barren looking land..Now that looks to me like some serious wildness...without many trees...and the bird now looks like he should travel here to the Norcalifornia shores for a more pleasant atmosphere:-)

Hi ivan,
A nice picture about this nice acquatic bird, with apropiate sharpness and colours. Composition is good, maybe bird a bit below in the image could be better, but´s only my opinion. I see workshop and is a bit strange place.

Hello Ivan,
Both photos are wonderful. I like the sharp details and beautiful colours in this photo. The orange colours of beak and legs against the grey/blue colours in the rest of the photo are impressive. Great low POV and composition.

Hi Ivan.
Great post with two amazing pictures. It is wonderful that we can see you at shooting and at so attractive place. Superb. Thanks Ulla a lot. Watching your original shot it is impossibly to imagine beautifulness of the scenery where you are shooting. However, shared picture is wonderful. I like its clean nice colours and transparency of the image at whole. Collours, details and sharpness of the bird as well as timing are ultimate. Bravo. My kind wishes.

Hi Ivan,

First I must say, I LOVE the workshop. Ulla did a fine job capturing you capturing this Redshank and also showing a wonderful view of the area. The Redshank is marvelous as he carefully walks along. The red beak and legs along with his lovely plummage make him a stand-out. Beautiful colors and fine details of the entire bird. The setting is wonderful and the composition is superb.

Well, I like this double take a lot Ivan, something like a "hunter gets hunted" theme! That fine Redshank individual looks quite oblivious to the happenings around, going as usual with its search for something to eat, a fine prowling composition indeed!
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hi Ivan,
Very good capture of Redshank in beautiful winter plumage. Good to see waders with clean feet for a change - the ones I usually shoot are covered in mud. Great pose and low POV, sharp details, nice composition and natural BG.

Hello Ivan

A very good capture of this redshank.
The workshop photo adds a nice depth to the experience.
The details are very good and the colours are vivid.
Very good POV and DOF.
He seems to be very determined to get somewhere.

hello Ivan

i think i already have written to you, i love bird or wild animal
images where the subject inside is in movement,
even if that movement is little like this image,
in this image the movement or that pose
must be of his hunting (or fishing) pose

superb (for me) shot of this Redshank with very fine POV, DOF
and framing, excellent sharpness and details, and i love
the very small action being on the image, TFS
