birds (with imagination) 'Red Sticks' Rhapsody (Black-necked Stilts)

Better view in Larger. Comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Very nice picture. I especially like the Black-necked Stilts, and this is an excellent capture.

oh wonderful composition and concept!

But IMHO I would crop more of the top till the beginning of the upper part of their legs, meaning to crop off the whole bird body and I wish that you have more space and bird tail on my right, and without those reflection on the upper left corner, so to make like a triangle of birds and legs in the middle of the photograph/frame!

Uf.. excuse me for my bad English, Hope you did understand what I wanted to say!

 

Happy new 2006 :)

A quick try at some cloning as Biliana suggests. I dunno, see what you think...

Charles, Biliana and Bryan for your inputs. Really appreciated.

 

Biliana, I think Bryan pretty much shows us how the image looks like based on your input. What do you think?

Yes, I meant that - the Bryan suggestion, and I like it even more but I need more space/bird body on my right too, so it has a symmetry!

 

But that was my idea daer Bryan!

Biliana

Yes, the Brian example is what I meant, but with more space on my right! and it would be perfect IMHO! Love it!

and YOu daer JERRY what do you think of my suggestion? do you like it?

 

Thank you,

Well, you guys are really demanding :) The weather is excellent today here in the Bay Area and I just got my 80-400mm VR back. So I will go out this afternoon after work and try my luck.

Jerry, this is beautiful. I like it as is. It gives the "sticks" more impact, and make it less of an abstraction.
