Beautiful, Dan. Nice low perspective and the Grebe is at a good angle as well. The lighting is nice and the drop hanging of the fish’s tail is cool.

Very nice, Dan. I love everything about it. The light is super and the little fish is a real bonus.

Agree with above. Nice soft colors/background, great detail and content. I love the perspective and DOF too.

Nice choice of the low perspective. The side lighting illuminates the duck’s eye and the fish, as well as the texture of its feathers. No nits here. It all works!!!

Looks good as presented. These birds look better in their breeding colors, but getting one with a fish is very special. Well done…Jim

This is a real beauty - great pose with the prey, tack-sharp, perfect BG and placement in the frame - no nits from me!
Excellent!

Nice light, detail, and pose. I like the low angle and complimentary background. Prey always a pose.
