Hi,
Captured this shot in Ghourigol Marsh, East Azarbaijan province, North west of Iran.
I was standing in early morning cold spring water behind the reeds. Suddenly this beautiful Eared Grebe started to come toward me.

Wish you like it.

excellent low angle & IQ. comp looks good. the lower half of the image seems(?) to have some kind of haze.
stopping down a bit might have helped get the beak in focus.

What a terrific closeup!
You have a terrific super low POV which I like very much.
The exposure is spot on.
I am happy with your DOF.
I agree that there seems to be a "film" over the image. I think you need to increase the contrast a bit,

Hi Moshen, great eye level perspective, and what a great HA, showing off that lovely eye. Love the blues of the water.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Sweet close up, Mohsen. The light looks excellent and that eye is captivating. Your shooting angle and the HA couldn't be better.
I did try adding contrast to your image, and it looked really good.
Also, I'd embed an sRGB profile when creating jpegs.

This is a beauty all right, Great image, well done.

Hi Moshen. I like perspective and exposure.

Very nice as presented and as noted above. It is a bit too tight in the frame. The next time that one swims right at you try turning the lens for a vertical. Perhaps a bit more sharpening of the face/eye or darkening the pupil a bit as this species seems to have a floating pupil.... Sweet light and perspective.
