Great crested grebe

[Jonathan Ashton]

Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 L IS &1.4TC Mk1 ISO 320-0.3 1/2000 sec f5.6
After a brief threatening posture and a bluff charge, this one decided it was time for a quick spruce up.
All C&C welcome.

Sounds like he really put on a show for you! I like the dynamic pose and water droplets splayed everywhere. I might try to blur or darken the far bank a little bit.

What great action/behavior you captured here. BG doesn't bother me. I would crop a little tighter to better focus on the behavior/bird. Try cropping from left, top and a little from the right.

wonderful

Excellent action shot, Jonathan.

nice capture Jonathan,like the action,nice exposure and light.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice action and colours, and good details. Cropping closer is a good option, and the image looks like it needs a bit of CCW rotation to me.

Hi Jon, good low angle of capture, and I do like the behaviour with the flying droplets. Well exposed, sharp where it counts, and well separated from the far BG.
