    This is an adult Little Grede in its breeding plumage. Very small and shy guys often dive underwater when they sense threat, had to setup low and rubbed some mud over myself for better camouflage .

    I/3200, F 5.6, ISO 800, +1/3.

    Mk4+500MM+1.4TC

    Regards,

    Kiran.

    Beautiful low angle and BG. You've handled what looks like a harsh light quite well.

    Kiran:

    Lovely, nice angle, attractive bird, sharp and well exposed. Agree with Ofer about the light, but it came out well.

    Kiran, you know I love these. the way the water has merged into the Bg is what makes this so good. Well done on all fronts.
