Hej Peter,
Fine capture of a Red-throated Diver, a species that I long to photgraph myself.
Superb sharpness and blurred BG and FG, helping to emphasize the bird.
Considering the poor light this is an excellent shot!

What a beautiful detailed shot of this Red-Throated Diver. It caught my eye right away. You have managed to really make the bird stand out, it is nice and sharp. The photo could be rotated just a tad to the right in order to straighten out that waterline, but other than that it is a perfect shot!

Hi Peter,
It is just beautiful...
Very sharp..1/60..almost unbelievable:-)
Great colours.
Shallow DOF is appropriate isolating the bird very well...

Hi Peter,
This really is a delightful photograph of the Red Throated Diver. A species I have only seen once, on Morecambe Bay in 2005.
your picture is beautifully sharp and full of detail with a nicely blurred background.
Well done,
Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
What a magnificent photo. Your extreem low POV is breath taking. I do hope you were able to keep your camera and lens dry. The details on the bird is perfect. The green colors of the OOF bg and it reflection on the water really helps to bring out the wonderful grey and red colors of diver.
TFS,

Hej Peter
Loons! they have a desolated expression in a way,
Good focus on the bird You have captured the color in a very good way by using the greenish water to get get red throat brighter. (as others already said)
Sjysst!

Beautiful shot of this attractive diver.
Great sharpness and very nice composition.
I think it could have been imporoved slightly by cropping a bit off the top and rotating clockwise a bit to straighten out the waterline.

Hello Peter,
This is a gorgeous shot of a very serene atmosphere and the softness of that lush green background really acentuates the feeling. The clarity on your subject is fantastic.The Low POV really adds to this as well. Extremely well done. :)

Hej Peter,
I've missed this brilliant capture! I wonder where you found this one? Presumably you were in a hide? Very clever, anyway, to get such a sharp and beautiful shot. Excellent colours and it looks so peaceful!
TFS and regards, Ulla
