Merhaba Şebnem Hanım,
Mükemmel bir kompozisyon mükemmel detaylar. Kuşun gösterdiği yüz ifadesi çok sevimli. Ayrıca sizinle fotoğraflarımızın komşu olması da benim için hoş ve güzel bir sürpriz oldu.

Hi Sebnem.
You have started up heavy artillery in action (500 mm lens + 1.4x converter). And result is very nice. You have captured a very cute duck with excellent reproductionits details and colours. Colours palette is really superb. Redlections at the water, delicate transmition from sharpness to blurriness are wonderful. My compliments and TFS.

Hello Sebnem,
You post infrequently, but when you do, your pictures leave one astounded at your originality, technical skills and a great sense of aesthetics.
The Little Grebe may not be a bird of heroic dimensions, but you have endowed it with so much appeal in this picture it looks like a bird from heaven.
It is the synergy between the water and the bird that leaves me amazed at the beauty of this remarkable shot.
Regards,
Ram

Hello Sebnem
Nice to see another superb picture from you!
The title here is great and i think very few people thought that brown on brown would look that well :)
The focus here is sop-on, the sharpness impecable and the DOF excellently managed.
Also the light and colors are terrific why the exposure is just as it should be :)
Grat work!

Bravo and TFS

Merhaba Şebnem,
Hem lens hem konvertor, arada epey mesafe varmış (sonra okudum 30-35 mt). Bence gayet guzel bir sonuc almissin, oldukca net ve keskin bir goruntu.Yansima ve sudaki dalga cok hosuma gitti. Eline saglik.
Sevgiler

Hello Sebnem,
What a nice little one! I think that he is very cute! You managed very well with exposure and details. I love those tones of colors and the bird is very well detailed even if the BG is quite the same color that he is... Nice lightning and reflection too. Well done and TFS,

Hello Sebnem,
This is a fine capture of the Little Grebe in winter plumage. You must ahve waited with your heavy equipment poised on the tripod fom him to come up from his dive to get this sharp image.
This is an excellent study in brown. In a normal Swedish winter they pop up between the sheets of ice, which allows for very short photogrphic opportunities.
TFS, regards, Ivan

Merhabalar,
Şahane bir kare olmuş, elinize sağlık. Mesafenin büyüklüğüne bakınca, 500mm merceğin önemini bir kez daha anladım. Özellikle kuşun çevresindeki çember şeklindeki dalgacıklar ve sudaki yansıma şahane. Tebrikler.

Nice... very nice compo Sebnem with perfect point of view, great colors and lighting, exactly DOF and focus and in spite of a lightly slow speed and medium ISO, the sharpness is perfect too.
Very appropriate framing and presentation.

Hi Sebnem,
An excellent shot on this Grebe. The long lens and telconverter did a great job with the isolation. Beautiful rich color saturation and sharp detail. The expanding ring of ripples from its body is what really makes the shot here. Well done.
