Nice low angle and warm golden colors. Like the position of the grebe with the neck and body separated by water.

Hi Frank, great perspective here, and this is tack sharp. I like the overall colours - Grebe and BG, and the droplets add interest. I can see a version with a lot taken off the bottom to form a narrow pano crop, as I feel most of the space at the bottom doesnt add.

Beautiful Image Frnak, nice low angle and different pose. I can see you intentionally kept the bird in the top third but even I would also like to see how a pano crop would look on this.

I like the colors and IQ but am not liking the very low position of the grebe. I, too, would prefer to see this as a pano,

Love the super low angle and such a cool bird. I agree about a pano would be cool. Great details too

Neat position of the grebe in the water, very sharp, great color in the water, a little head turn this way would have been great.

Thank you for the comments. Here the new pano version.

I far prefer the pano crop and might go even skinnier! Nice BKGR, HEAD REFL, and EXP. As is often the case with birds that dive, the wet feathers just behind the bill are somewhat of a mess. And the head is fractionally turned away.

Frank:

You are really working these grebes! I like the low angle, colors, drops.

If you have a bit on the left, would like a little more there.

Cheers

I like the pano repost, low angle and complimentary BG/FG. Well done Frank!
