Hi Nasos,

I have always thought the Crested Grebe was the cutest thing found in the water. Unfortunately I have seen one only once. This one is adorable with fine colors and details of his head and face. I love the pose on the leaves. A super composition.

Hi Nasos,
beautiful bird with the pretty head. the scenery of the lake is fascinating too. The small straight plant with flowers are attractive to complement the composition.

Hello Nasos !
I really like how the Grebe is sitting in the plants to rest, makes a lovely scenery. I also like the soft colors, the splendid composition, and all those plants sticking out of the water. Looks so different from the lakes we have in France. POV is great as well. Very well done !

Hello Nasos,
A fine capture of a Great Crested Grebe on its nest taken from a good POV to show thegrebe and some of the habitat with excellent sharpness and lighting. I like th composition that shows how the pair have gathered the water vegetation around the nest.
Thanks and best regards,
