Couldn't resist another grebe image from Viera. It was a rare privilege to be with this devoted family and their cute chicks.
500mm with 1.4TC. ISO500. F5/6, 1/1600

Susan, I love these mother and chick images-can't get enough! The reflection is a bonus! I love the BG and water colors-

[Dan Walker]

Nice eye contact from both birds. Might sharpen a little bit more. Pretty cute.

The chick is just so cute and you've photographed it at the right moment. As mentioned, just a bit soft on the rear of the bird at 700 mm. and F5.6.

Nonetheless, a magic moment that not many have the opportunity to catch. Good one.

I'm glad you couldn't resist, this is too cute. I like the mood, setting and composition. I think it needs a tiny bit CW rotation. If you draw a line from the catchlight to the catchlight in the reflection with the ruler tool, and then go to rotate and arbitrary, it will tell you the amount.

Very cute capture! great reflections and BG.
Perhaps a little selective sharpening on the juvenile's face would help.
