Hi,
Captured this shot in Ghourigol Marsh, East Azarbaijan province, North west of Iran.
I was standing in early morning cold spring water behind the reeds. Suddenly this beautiful Eared Grebe started to come toward me.
Wish you like it.

excellent low angle & IQ. comp looks good. the lower half of the image seems(?) to have some kind of haze.
stopping down a bit might have helped get the beak in focus.

What a terrific closeup!
You have a terrific super low POV which I like very much.
The exposure is spot on.
I am happy with your DOF.
I agree that there seems to be a "film" over the image. I think you need to increase the contrast a bit,
Gail

Hi Moshen, great eye level perspective, and what a great HA, showing off that lovely eye. Love the blues of the water.

Sweet close up, Mohsen. The light looks excellent and that eye is captivating. Your shooting angle and the HA couldn't be better.
I did try adding contrast to your image, and it looked really good.
Also, I'd embed an sRGB profile when creating jpegs.

Very nice as presented and as noted above. It is a bit too tight in the frame. The next time that one swims right at you try turning the lens for a vertical. Perhaps a bit more sharpening of the face/eye or darkening the pupil a bit as this species seems to have a floating pupil.... Sweet light and perspective.
