Hello Gert,
A fine capture from your archives!
The POV shows the Great Crested Grebe and her two chicks with nice sharpness colours and lighting. It is also intersting to see her leg and shape of face from this angle.
Thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Gert,this photo looks very good for the dull light conditions you have taken it in.It is a charmer with those little grebes with the zebra like markings nestled in the parents backside,adorable is the word for this scene.I have seen many grebe in the last few years and yet oddly enough never a scene such as this one,maybe next year!The only thing I wish that could of been different for this image was that it could of been sunny when you took it,but that can't be controlled and as it is,well it is a welcome and fine looking image that you have shared with us.Thank you.

Bob

Hello Gert,
You're so lucky to be able to get such a lovely close capture of this beautiful bird with its young! Here they're always so far away! I love the fine sharp details here - Mum's wet hairdo and the líttle ones looking so cosy on their bed of feathers. Well done!
TFS and have a nice weekend, Ulla

Hi Gert.
Once more touching family picture from you. Its subject, diagonal composition and brilliant details of the mom and its children are superb despite the not so attractive weather. Exposure of the image and reproduction of the water colouration are precise. Bravo. Perfect shot.
Alexei.
