1D mark IV, Canon 600 f4, x2, 1/500, f9, iso 800, tripod, flash, full Wimberely, hide in water

From a few months ago - I don't recall posting it in here.

Nearly full frame

Great IQ Ofer, and I like low perspective. You have captured good overall detail, and the BG colours really puts this up a notch. Well captured.

[Arthur Morris]

Sweet bird, light, pose, and perspective. Sharp with a perfect EXP.

[Arno Ellmer]

This is a stunning image,Ofer ! I paticularly like the low angle and light .Pin sharp and very good flash work.

[Doug Brown]

Spectacular frame Ofer. Great color and sharpness. Can't get much lower either.

[James Salywoda]

Gorgeous! Excellent detail and that bg is so beautiful.

[Melissa Groo]

Another stunner, Ofer! Can't think of any way you could improve this. Great shot indeed.

[John Guastella]

Really gorgeous; BG to die for. I would just remove the little patch of blue at the LRC.

What kind of grebe is is this, Ofer? Nothing similar to it in my U.S. bird guides (I don't have any Australian guides...).

Bravo!!!
Love everything about this!

[arash_hazeghi]

excellent low angle with sharp details + sweet light and BG to go with it

[Pieter de Waal]

Superb in every respect. Particularly like the water droplets and BG colour.

[Ofer Levy]

Thank you everyone for the kind words.
This is the Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) which is the smallest grebe found in Oz.
Forgot to mention that the BG was a refelection of a flowring Bottle Brush tree whith its red flowers.

Fantastic image, Ofer.
Lovely light, bg, low angle, exposure, bird.
Everything A+.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely photo Ofer.

BG, pose, detail and composition are right on.

And using all that gear technique had to be bang on as well.
