Pied-billed Grebe

Nice low angle, pose, and details. Really like the tones in the image. This would work well
as a vertical also.

Gorgeous, love everything about it.

Everything comes together in this image Tim. Great work.

Beautiful low angle and a very nice pose.

Excellent pose and shooting angle.

Excellent all around image!

Beautiful image! Great shooting angle and pose.

Cracking shot Timothy, pose, pov & colour look great.

Very nice - love the serenity and colours in this frame. May be my aging eyes, but could it do with a tiny CCW rotation?

love as shown.. I think i shall just find a quiet place to disappear to. 10/10

These little ones are the darlings of the pond alright...It's a nice image-the head position and eye stare make it...But scale back the saturation a bit would you...it's too much and detracts greatly from the main power in the composition which is that stare. Everything should be subservient to the stare...

shadowy foreground and sunrise lit background of a wetland during a dewy canadian spring is probably the most exaggerated natural saturation you'll ever witness... and that's only winterized brush in the background. Buds, blossoms and new foliage are a whole other animal.

saturation: -3
vibrance: -2
picture style: neutral

Tim are those settings the in camera settings? I assume they are since they include picture style. Why not set the camera then at 0 across the board?

Or if you actually pulledback on the saturation in PP why do that? Even if to one guy it looks over saturated, why not leave it as it was if that is what it was?

I'm probably missing something here. And it's not that the colors look crazy ridiculous to me but just a tad over. Then again maybe they are just about what is accurate.

Pictures style is neutral which is all zeros and in PP I pulled back on the saturation and vibrance to taste.
