    Default Eared Grebe

    In my effort to show species other photographers overlook or ignore, I present the winter plumage Eared Grebe!

    I like the eye and the water, very nice, we don't have these where I live,
    so I appreciate them.
    I think a 16X9 or 10 crop with some off the bottom would be a nice alternate.
    It is a bit high in the frame for me.

    The blue water is sooo nice.Such a beautiful shade of blue.
    The IQ and POV are excellent. That yellow eye really pulls the viewer in. Nice light and sweet HA.
    I agree with Dan that a 16 x 10 would look nice,

    Hi Dorian, exquisite light, and just love the overall detail on the little guy. Nice colour to the eye, and the colour of the water takes this up a few notches. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom.

    Looks great all around. Nice low angle. Great light and nice framing to top it all off.

    Lovely colour palette, simple but effective. I know its your style, but I'd prefer the bird lower in the frame
