 The most beautiful bird on Yarrow Valley lodge, a Great Crested Grebe. Eats fish rather than bread so they tend to stay well away from people - getting a shot this close means many hours of waiting.

Beautiful bird. Like the treatment of the water. Crop okay, composition good. My eyes are fuzzy right now so I will not comment on sharpness. Well done. 7 may bump later.

Not a bad shot. There seems to be some detail lacking, as it doesn't really seem out of focus, but it doesn't have that great "being right there" feeling of clarity to it either. LIghting is good and I like the reflection. The subject itself isn't all that appealing to me, but this is a very subjective challenge in that regards. Hope this is helpful!

Seeing as how I LOVE ducks so much, I do find this very beautiful. I love the water ripples and the reflection. And he is a pretty unique looking duck :) Good luck.

Very pretty, perhaps would have been a little better to have the full reflection of the head too.
