Good sharpness throughout, nice low perspective, and the water color is lovely. Cute fluffy rear and a good head angle for this pose. I like this composition, and the dropping little feather adds interest.
Very well done as per Linda. Please let us know the shutter speed and aperture. Darkening the pupil a bit might make the eye pop a bit more. Love teh fluffy butt.

Good Critique Linda. Agreed on all.
Fine image Alexander! I like it a lot.
I might crop a little from the bottom for a tighter less boxy and more dramatic comp.

Fantastic image Alexander. The low angle is too good to be true. The soft light, the great eye contact, the cuteness of the grebe, the sharpness, everything is perfect but the tiny feather is a fantastic bonus. One of your best images IMO Alex. Big congratulations. oops, I almost forget to sy that the post processing of the image is nailed and the performance of the 2X converter seems very good.
Is that a feather falling??? Great!!!! I love it, light, ambient, compo, head turn, details, just great! Congfratulations!
Ola Juan,
I always used Olympus for equipment bud since I have got de Zuiko ED 300mm f2.8 and the Zuiko 2.0 converter, I realy bieleve that this is one of the beste lences and converters you can get. It's (as far as I know) the only lens wich produces such a schap images with a 2.0 converter:cool:. A pitty that the camera's of Olympus are still running behind of Nikon and Canon:confused:
Alexander, this is one of the best images I've ever seen of this species! The soft lights, pose, composition and the blue in the BG are fantastic! Congrats!
