Hi Jon ... you did very well under given circumstances , the ugly flat light does not justify the beauty of the Grebe .... but you have some super nice details and the colors do look quite good to me .
Love the ripples in the water ...
Just wish you had the option for a lower shooting angle and you would keep more an eye on your use of artificial intelligence .... :w3:t3 ..... just too obvious :Whoa!:.

TFS Andreas

Andreas you are a demon for detail but yes I can see what you refer to....... in my defence I was interested more in the bird:w3

[Andreas Liedmann]

LOL Jon .... sorry for being a demon for you , hope you survive it .

[Jonathan Ashton]

It's fine - no problems.
