Fuut- Podiceps Cristatus
The great crested grebe is the largest grebe in Europe. It is a graceful bird, with its long neck, long bill and slender outline. In summer, the adults of both sexes are adorned with beautiful head-plumes, which are reddish-orange in colour with black tips; there is also an erectile black crown. The sexes are similar in appearance, but juveniles can be distinguished by the possession of blackish stripes on the cheeks.
Reina (translation from a dutch website, sorry for bad spelling!)
The grebe is growing in number. Allthough Im very delightful about this, cause its one of my favourite birds to photograph, its not a good sign. It means, as

I just found out, that the food is increasing in the water because of the dung/menure? (we call it "mest") that is now in the water. It means that the water is not biodivers.
Maybe someone with real knowledge on trek can explain this.

Question, Im still not happy the way my pictures are produced by trek. My last posting of a lyon was postprocessed with aputere and adobe for web.
For this posting I used nikon capture editor and I used a line of corell. Who can advice me wich works the best.
Thanks for those who take the time and enjoy the weekend Reina

Hoi Reina,
Een mooi plaatje met een hoge aaibaarheids- factor. Goed vastgelegd en lekker scherp, met goede details. (Zie de druppeltjes op de vleugels). Kleuren gewoon goed. Interessante note ook.
Groet, Ruud

Lovely shot Reina ! I like the young one it's back ! Well done, you've done a great job. A bit OE on the front of the bird but it's still a good one. Thanks !

What a wonderful shot, Reina.
I love the head of that little one peeking out from mommy's back.
It is my dream to take such a picture, but I don't see this kind of grebes very often here.
I like the saturated colors in the head, and the fluffy feathers in the back.
The white chest feathers are a bit OE.
Sharp details and great POV.
TFS. : )

Het zijn van die schatje reina,
mooi dicht bij gehaald, goede foto mooie details, goede compositie, goed werk. Prettige dag verder.

J'aime particulièrement l'angle de la prise de vue qui donne beacoup d'importance à l'élément eau.
Bravo

Hi Reina,
What a beautiful capture of this great grebe with its little baby (?) on its back! I like those details you captured on the plumage a lot; they are very sharp. Good natural colors and exposure. Maybe I would have cropped it differently as the gerbe is in my perception, too centered in the frame. I read your note but I'm no sure if I understand well what you meant, so I'll let other members answer.

Great shot! Thanks,
Claudine

Hallo Reina,
Mooie compositie, goed scherp en een prachtige achtergrond. Heel apart dat het jong een heel ander verenkleed heeft als de ouder.

Hola Reina
Una gran foto la de este somormujo con sus crias a la espalda, buen colorido y detalle.
Mis felicitaciones.
Un saludo

Hi Reina,
a very cute picture it reminds me of my "taxi-ride" but your picture is sharper,
You was on thr right place in the right time to capture a great shot like this. It's bit OE on the breast but thats a minor nit for a picture like this. The low POV is great and the colour asr nice.
Well done.

Hallo reina,

Een mooie posting van de fuut met kleine,ik heb in het begin ook kleurverschillen opgemerkt bij het opladen van mijn eerste foto's,dit was te danken aan het feit dat ik eerst fotos op het net zette die ik had bewerkt in een RGB omgeving,het internet werkt echter met sRGB,misschien dat je hier wat mee kan?

Groetjes Paul

ps ik vind je fotos er goed uitzien,maar ik weet uit ervaring is als ze er na het opladen er anders uit zien

Beautiful and moving scene Reina with excellent POV and composition.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, focus, sharpness, color, lighting, background, framing, notes.

I don't like it: the lack of the values of the image.

Excellent post... thank you for sharing.
Greetings... Ricardo

Hi, Reina.

Lovely family portrait with good compo and atmosphere.
