Great Crested Grebe ( M )
Hi folks .... from earlier this year when I got the RF extenders and testing them with the 100 - 500 .
Image taken at a side arm of the local river , area is used for water supply ... so not allowed to use for recreation .
Canon EOS R3
RF 100 - 500 with 2x TC
HH
Fullframe
F 14 ; Iso 12.800 ; 1/2500 sec
Processed with Capture One and PSCC 2023
Thanks for looking and commenting to previous postings
Cheers Andreas
Pose composition colours - very good, IQ looks good noise free. I have raised this issue before but the image looks even better when viewed in PSCC.
Thank you Jon , for your comment .
Not sure what you mean by issue , is just a general fact that images look better in PS .
Cheers Andreas
Hi Andreas, a really beautiful bird. I think you have captured the bird at its best. Nice soft light, post-processing brings out the best in the bird and background. Thank you for sharing.

Andreas:
I agree with Jon and Joe. Lovely soft light, well exposed, good pose, shooting angle, processing.
Bit surprised by the shutter speed chosen for a swimming bird. I might have traded shutter speed for lower ISO, but can't argue with your result.
Cheers

Thanks Joe and Randy for your comments , much appreciated .
@ Randy ... easy to explain , I was shooting HH and holding the rig ( 1000 mm ) at the lens foot to get a low angle to avoid any blurry images if possible . And you might know that I am not afraid of high iso .... I rather have a sharp image than a softer with lower noise level .
Cheers Andreas
Andreas just love this what a great capture. I love this grebe wish we had it here in the states. Love the background goes so well here. Wish it were mine TFS.
Very nice Andreas...all looking good here. Good detail from bill to tail. I really like the pose and the POV, on what looks like peaceful surroundings.

Just superb Andreas. The level of texture and color you portrayed here is just awesome amigo.
Your angle is good and the pose is very intimate.
A real treat that I will come back to. TFS!
Thanks Kevin , Will and Brian for your kind comments .... much appreciated
Great bird, and you have some wonderful details to show off its regal plumage. I'd personally prefer some more room for the composition. Nice to have a spot for no recreation, must b nice and quiet there
Thanks Dan ... glad you like it . I can easily add canvas , just think there is enough room ...
