Great crested Grebes in early morning fog
Hi Guys,

Here's another from the outing with Barry S. This was early morning on the second day and conditions where ideal for these type of shots. We where out for Spoonbills wich we got but these Grebes are always a nice bonus on early mornings like these.

greetings,

Jeroen Stel

I'd love to see this larger Jeroen, a very attractive image bursting with atmosphere.

I agree with Ian re; a pano crop but still a very atmospheric image.Looks like you had a nicely varied few days with Barry.

Love the atmosphere here and the great layers. This would indeed work fine as a pano-crop as well! :toast: :wavey:

I think this type of shot always works well, an atmospheric, misty scene with the subjects small in the frame is always a winner, top shot Jeroen.
