Australasian Grebe portrait

[Ofer Levy]

1D Mark IV, Canon 600 f4, x2 TC, 1/1000/ f9, iso 640, Miller Solo CF tripod, Miller Arrow 25 fluid head, hide

Taken in Sydney last spring.
About 75% of full frame

Great IQ Ofer, with a good low perspective. I do like the detail and colours, and the little guy stands out nicely from the BG. If this were mine, I would probably have taken a bit off the bottom.

Gorgeous shot. Love the pose, colours and especially the low angle in combination with the calm water. I am not really bothered by the room at the bottom, but can see the subject being moved a little more to the left. In any case very nicely done!

[Sudhir Shivaram]

Beautiful image with excellent complementing background. I like the eye level perspective here. The lighting adds so much to the image.

Rgds,

Nice low angle with plane water.. pose also good.. I am with Krijn in subject of crop..

[Greg Basco]

Ofer, great shooting angle, and the light is wonderful. Since you mentioned this was a 75% crop (thanks for including that info:S3:), I wonder if the full-frame had a more complete reflection. I like the water so much that I actually would like to see more of it.

Cheers,
Greg Basco

[Troy Lim]

Stunning shot as usual.

[Humberto Ramos]

Great capture, the BG is amazing. For me the bird is nice in the frame, I would do nothing, maybe just a round of sharpness in the head...

[Dumay de Boulle]

Impressive IQ with the 2x...Love the colors, low angle and light...Lovely image Ofer

Ofer, yet another beauty here. Thanks so much for posting it. Nothing needs adjusting here.

Ofer,
Leave the crop the way it is.
If I was forced to change it, a little off the top.

Beautiful as posted.

James
