This one is from January, a Little grebe searching for food in a close by lagoon home for several species of this area.

I like the water/b/g and the bird itself looks very nice and sharp with the bonus of water droplets, composition wise I wonder how it would look if the bird was more to the left and more space to the right if this is possible, just my personal view of course and still a fine image as posted.

While I do enjoy unconventional compositions, everything about this frame to me says to put the bird on the left side of the frame looking in. details and colors are nice.

It is a very cute individual ,and it seems fixated on something here! I love all the golden brown tones, nice subtle concentric circles in the water. I agree with the crop suggestion.

Hi Luis, lovely low angle and I like the alert pose. I also like the light, and complimentary colours between the Grebe and the BG. Another vote to move the Grebe to the LHS.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. To be honest i understand the moving to the lhs of the frame because of the head angle, but to do that i have to extend the canvas and crop..
