As you say John, a nice habitat image and one which shows their environment very well.

Very nice environment shot John, and like the 4 grebes. There seem to be a lot at the Wetland Centre this Winter.

I was wondering if some shadows/highligts work would improve this a little, but the more I look at it the more I like it as it is.

Thanks

I did actually try it and changed my mind. I think you are right. Certainly gives it more punch.
Heres a repost.
Cheers

I prefer the original John, second looks unatural.
