While the birds are of course you focus....the backdrop, or in this case the water, is so doggone real looking...I mean this looks like fine film work in the water so naturally it helps much in bringing out the birds...You must have been pleased when you saw this on your monitor!

Hello Bob. Excellent and unique looking pair under the morning sun. I like the color around the head and the red eyes. The ripples make excellent background and thanks for sharing. Jusni

What an adorable photo - and the colors are brilliant! I love the POV and the water ripples add tension to this shot - are they going to spar or love? Lovely image.

Hello Bob,
A fine capture of a pair of Horned Grebes taken with fine sharpness in superb lighting on the water. The POV and composition are great.
The bright red eyes are difficult to expose right to avoid over-saturation of the red, but this is well managed. We have a similar species, the Slavonian Grebe, that presents the same problem.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
Ivan

Resplendissants, Bob. They truly are beautiful, the light is stunning, youpi, summer light is back! That's a good change in our pictures, isn't it Bob? Look at the nice wavy blue water with those highlights of colours and the beautiful ducks seemingly looking at each other in a dance. Thanks for your notes and lucky you to enjoy all this beauty, take pictures! I know how satisfying and spiritually fun to do. Thank you!
