    Great IQ Ofer, and I like low perspective. You have captured good overall detail, and the BG colours really puts this up a notch. Well captured.

    Spectacular frame Ofer. Great color and sharpness. Can't get much lower either.

    Another stunner, Ofer! Can't think of any way you could improve this. Great shot indeed.

    Really gorgeous; BG to die for. I would just remove the little patch of blue at the LRC.

    What kind of grebe is is this, Ofer? Nothing similar to it in my U.S. bird guides (I don't have any Australian guides...).

    Superb in every respect. Particularly like the water droplets and BG colour.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words.
    This is the Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) which is the smallest grebe found in Oz.
    Forgot to mention that the BG was a refelection of a flowring Bottle Brush tree whith its red flowers.

    Lovely photo Ofer.

    BG, pose, detail and composition are right on.

    And using all that gear technique had to be bang on as well.
