A very clean image and I like the low angle. the details in the grebe are super, regards composition I would (if possible) make the grebe a little less close to the left hand side..

[MiroslavMaric]

Thanks Jonathan, I agree, more room at left could be better:



Cheers!

Image quality is beautiful. Wonderful detail and water beads on Grebe. Nice rich colors and grey reflected overcast. Well done.

The grebe looks great with awesome details. I really like the water beads. Good low angle and neat reflection. I find the large oof band just behind the face (with its solid line above the head) a bit distracting to the flow of the image IMO. Overall very nice though, a peaceful image.

Maybe a bit off the top? If you aren't opposed, take a look at removing the highlights in the reflections under the head and behind the neck.

I like both crops and the bird is sharp and loverly. A pure green grey BKGR would have been ideal. For me, the face could be opened up just a bit. All is all well done.
