Hi John,
a very beautiful picture with lovely colours and lighting.
Fine sharpness witn good details and nice DOF.
What I like most is the low POV, did you get wet?
A beautiful work.

This photo should be in a magazine or picture book! Perfect sharpness and contrast of colors, and details right down to the water droplets on his back.

Did you add a soft focus enhancement, or is the light area of the water sunlight filtering through shadows? Whatever it is, it adds a great effect.

Photos like this are those I can only aspire to. Thanks for sharing!

Hi John,

excellent capture, the colours are well saturated and the composition is lovely. I like the vignetting effect too, it works very well here. A fine piece of work.

Hello John,
Beautiful shot in wich I love the way the edges are darkened.
Seems like the viewer is taking a look through a pinhole.
Sharpness and exposure are excellent while lighting and detailed feathers ar wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Harry

Hi John
Great saturation and colour tones. Love the vignette effect, attracts the eye straight to a sharp crisp subject. Just love Grebes, majestically captured

Nice work John looks like you got a good setup looks sharp and nice light. Vignetting is a bit strong but a nice touch. Good details in the head. tfs rgds Necip.

Hi John, this is a superb shot of the Grebe. A beautiful composition with a great pov. Detail, colours and shaprness perfect. Good to see the crest projected and the fine water drops on the back. Excellent all round.
