    Frank,

    The light you have here is really nice, makes the entire image look painterly (in a very natural way). The detail and warm colors make this image top notch.

    I may take a look at a version with a bit less on the bottom, as I'm not sure that the reflection adds much.

    Beautiful light, beautiful grebe, the water color is superb. I too could see a little off the bottom.

    Fantastic. Wonderful water color, are there any processing on context?

    Hi Frank. Beautiful light, nice colors, good sharpness, and I like the glistening water drops on the bird. I could see cropping some from the bottom - to put more of our focus on the bird itself and because the most interesting looking water is in the top 2/3 of the frame. Very well done!

    Awesome light, exposure, low angle. Warm colours are appealing. With a weak-ish reflection I agree with the crop suggestions already provided.

    @all, thank you.

    I'm not sure whether this version is better, bottom trimmed a little.

    Hi Frank, love the light, which n turn has brought out the detail and colours so well. Sharp, the texture of the water looks good, and your repost works much better.
