great crested grebe

[Behin Nazemroaya]

Hi

Canon 7D, Canon 400 f5.6L
f7.1, 1/800s, ISO800, Lay on the ground
I shot the mother & kid in 2 separated captures because i could't put them both in 1 frame, They were too close to me.
Thank you for looking
Regards

Stunning image Behin, love the low angle and the beautiful colours in the BG. You may be able to get more detail out of the adult grebe by working on the shadows. TFS

Wonderful shot! I made a re-edit, which I hope is okay with you Behin.

I think the whole picture is too dark in originally posted version so I increased the intensity and the contrast a little bit. Then I did some selective shadow adjustements on the adult bird to bring out more detail on the body and the neck feathers. Finally I brightened the face so that you can see that wonderful red eye better and to get rid of the shadowy contrasts. Also boosted those amazing colors just a tad.

Amazing IQ on this shot, great interaction and killer BG.

Quite a lovely image, with nice moment captured between adult and chick. Nice job combining the two. Personally I find the darker mood of the OP preferable to the repost, although I agree that some detail in the OP might be brought out of the shadows of the adult.

Hi Behin love this for the interaction and the whole mood of the frame. The RP simply does not work for me !!!
Love the low POV , color and tone .

Well done , like to see more

Fantastic picture with a superb low angle and very interesting BG. Great processing as we cannot tell that this is two frames...excellent "digital thinking"!
