Hello Ivan, when I saw the title, I thought of David Bowie's song "Let's dance - Put on your red shoes" and here they are, standing on their long red-pink legs. These are very beautiful birds that you make me discover, they are peculiar! They look like normal birds but on long legs, what grace! Your picture is beautiful, with the nice reflection in the water bringing a yellow touch to the composition. Thank you!

I like the round head and very long bill. You have taken a fine close up with good detail. A good pose with the one leg up in the air. wel ldone TFS.

Hi Ivan,

I love your title - I think the one is teaching a new step to the other. A beautiful pair of Black-winged Stilts at the water's edge. Their long pink legs are amazing. Beautiful blacks and whites, fine details of their faces and feathers and wonderful expressions. A nice natural setting and composition.

Hej Ivan
what a lovely shot of beautiful Long-legged Stilt. all photographic features great, from focus and composition to POV and exposure. But notes and title also great. Let's dance is good, but we can say "legs' dance" :) I also like this species. In last week I saw it in İstanbul, but they have not occurred in Niğde area, yet. I think we can see them several days later. Normally they be here in March.
Thanks for sharing my friend
have a nice weekend to you and Ulla

Dear Ivan,
a very charming capture - that image definitely "got rhythm".
Excellent image in its precision, composition, perfectly natural subdued colours, the location at the boundaries of earth and water. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

PS: Never resist repeating to show a certain species with images like this one. With you I am seeing definitely no such danger as showing just the same ducks and peacock butterflies over and over again :)

Hello Ivan !
Such a great picture ! I love the poses of these Wagtails, and I also like the way their red legs are standing out against the greyish BG, the only touch of color on an otherwise B/W picture. Very nicely composed, excellent details, great POV. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hallo Ivan
Time has been one of my worst enemies lately and I missed out on a lot of super images including this one. This is really splendid image. The colours and details captured on the birds are super, especially on the legs and the almost “Chinese” eyes. The motion and pose captured is great, the reflection in the water and movement of the water is super. Just love the contrast of black and white against the grayish gravelly surrounding. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.
