Dan, the first image was impressive for the unusual setting and good techs but with reduced impact due to the less than ideal HA...but this one is a much stronger image for the beautiful pose and perfect HA!! Great clean beach, nice low angle, and love the foot position. Great light too. I would only eliminate the faint streak touching the grebe's forehead. Way to go, this has two thumbs up from me!!

Dan, Everything that Daniel said from me too. Wonderful image, cannot wait for the end to the story.

This is great, all the techs look good and the pose is fantastic...Much stronger than the previous image

Daniel has echoed my thoughts perfectly. Just fix that streak by the head and you have yourself a 10 out of 10. I like the light and the raised foot,

The angle and light makes this image for me. Love the detail as well and nice clear surroundings.

Superb!:S3:

[Melissa Groo]

This is a beautiful image, Dan. Love the curves, the light, that amazing eye, your low angle. My definite favorite of your series so far.
I'm a little distracted by the green thing behind the grebe. What is that? My eye keeps going to it, wondering what it is.
So glad to hear there is a happy ending!

[Christopher Ciccone]

I have to agree also with previous comments. Low angle, nice light, and connection with the subject is great. The dark oof streak does draw my eye a bit. The only other little thing I would wish for is just a bit more DOF (sand behind the bird is tack sharp, but at the front is just a bit soft) but honestly, that is of little consequence with such a nice pic!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Dan, great shot, this one. loved the pose, feather detail and the shooting angle. Best part is the light...simply gorgeous.

Dan, I like this one even more. Nice low angle, sharp details and pose.:S3:

[Josh Clark]

Great shot Dan, I love this. I like this one even more so then the first Grebe you posted. The foreground and the elegant looking pose of this Grebe really make it for me.

[Ofer Levy]

Pretty image indeed!

[Danny Laredo]

Wonderful pose light and detail.
