    Perfect imo. What a pose! The IQ is (!)
    A good example of what can be accomplished in soft/diffused light quality.

    Image quality and light are just perfect. Sorry but I am confused ...Is that one or two ducks? Lots of interest.

    Hi Frank, lovely soft light, and what an interesting swimming pose you managed to capture. I do like the detail and colours on the head, and I can see a version with a bit off the bottom.

    It took me a while to figure out what was going on as I first thought there were 2 birds.
    Lovely light and low POV. The water is so pretty.
    I see a bit of a magenta cast,

    This is just great, half bird, half reptile!
    Your usual top notch IQ and low angle.

    A most unusual pose captured, and it really makes it extra interesting, stunning capture in both light/exposure and focus....I really cant see anything worth changing. \

    Frank, I unofficially award you the honor of best Great Crested Grebe photographer of the year lol
