    Nice high key look.... I would add some saturation to the Grebe.

    Once again, on this one, this seems the perfect angle as that very calm water makes for a perfect BG. Love the HA and pressure wave in this still water. The reflection is spot on too. Dan may be on to something, though I'm not sure if it's slight saturation or contrast boost that it needs. TFS

    That's a beauty! Well exposed, and a perfect reflection and head angle. Sharp as well. I suppose a bit more saturation would not hurt.

    Lovely image, John. No nits from me. I really like these grebes, they're the first to arrive in the fall in Florida. Thank you for sharing.

    Excellent composition and detail. The lack of bright color works well in an almost high key image. Might even work as a black-and-white.
