Derek:

Your grebe is sharp and well exposed. Good shooting angle.

A little tight on the left side. The first impression is that it needs a little CW rotation, but always a bit of a challenge to decide with this amount of wave action.

The tiny little wave along the bottom edge on the right side seems to get my attention, might try to smooth it out a bit. May not bother others.

Cheers

Good looking grebe. Nice and sharp and well exposed. As well as the good suggestions by randy I might also try to smooth out the bit of diagonal mark in the water above the bird's body. ell done and nice and low angle.

[Stu Bowie]

Good low angle, and the the little guy certainly is sharp and showing lots of detail. The droplets on the body add interest, and agree, a little more space on the left will work.

[Satish Ranadive]

Marvelous creation with lovely BG.Loved the details of birds and water droplets on it.

[Derek Willcox]

thank you all
randy i always have problems with my cw i see the wave you mean it is a bit of a distraction just dont know how to smooth it out
Dave i see the line just dont know how to fix it
Stuart yep you are right needs a bit more space

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed, I agree regards a little more space on the left. I know it is a little subjective but I suspect a little CW rotation would help.
