Dynamic

This young Great Crested Grebe is already as dynamic as the big ones.

Great action and sharp where it's critical. Beautiful Frank! Really enjoy the rich and varied colors of green. I think this works well as a tight action composition, but I could also envision a slightly looser comp with an emphasis towards putting more space in front of the subject on the left hand side....

Frank;
Beautiful action you have captured here with apt title. Very nice pose.Sharp where it needed. I like the water droplets, lights and HA.
Very nice low angle. Composition wise I would crop at the bottom and add little on the top.

Hi Frank, great action captured here, especially with the flying droplets. The head is nice and sharp, and I would create a pano crop by taking off the bottom.:w3

Great action shot, Frank. The pose is very nice and the water droplets around makes it really dynamic.

Great capture.... I, too would like a bit more space. Love the water droplets.

Great foreground, the water is so smooth, and reflects so many nice colors. Nice action on the bird.

FranK:

Excellent shooting angle, action, colors, exposure, flying drops.

I also would consider a bit more of a pano crop, with a bit more room in front if you have it.

Looking at the water makes me think it may need a sliver (1-2 degrees) of CCW rotation, but close call.

Cheers

Very cool Frank. Glad you were able to get some visible eye here. I would prefer to see the bird lower in the frame and keep all the great water action on top since the reflection is just so so. Personal preference of course.
