Hi Gary

Not your usual GGG display shot - I love the water and the light is great. Perhaps a tad more USM, that said great capture!

Hi,
I always find it quite tricky to assess the sharpness of the image on a small jpeg but this looks like it may be a little on the soft side,which is a shame as it's a nice behavioural type shot and the light looks quite nice,perhaps as David has suggested it's just an increase in USM that's needed (if the original looks fine).
A well captured moment and a good image to have in your files,documenting the Grebes behaviour.

That water IS choppy! The almost synchronised postures are excellent. Echo the USM comments above. :toast:
