Little Grebe

[Stu Bowie]

This little guy seemed to be fairly happy with his breakfast. Taken in the Pilanesberg nature reserve a while back. A lower angle wasnt possible. Cleaned up a few dirty spots in the water.

Nice Stuart .. nice captured.. Like the plane water and reflection.. with extra fish.. But,There is more space in left..
If I think you should crop little from left side, and little from bottom....:S3:

beautiful action with a killer eye contact!!!

[Haim Ziv]

Beautiful reflection and great water texture.

[Pieter de Waal]

Good light, exposure and eye contact Stuart. Love the reflection and wake(incredible calm water). I might consider a crop from the bottom for a pano comp as an alternative.

Thanks a stack for the feedback guys. Here is a slightly tighter crop.

Stuart, what I like the most is the catch and the water. Well done as always.

[Jim Crosswell]

Nice job on the repost Stuart! I like the smooth water and reflection .

Stuart, Somewhere in between for me. An adorable little one w/ a big fish is always a winner! I might tone down the fish a little and evict the dust spot top left if it were mine. Just lovely!!:S3:

Kaus, Jim, Denise, thanks a stack for the kind words. Always appreciated.
