From Bombay Hook in the early morning. Perhaps a bit too busy for some, but I like the warm colors and lines in this image.

50D, 500mm, ISO 640, F4.5, 1/400 Please see LARGER version if you can. Thanks for your critique/comments!

Certainly not too busy - never easy to get a shot like this of a Pied-billed grebe and the reflection is sweet

I like this a lot as posted. In fact it is much like an image I had planned as my next post. I love the setting and the colors.

A bit busy, but the light and the reflection more than overcome the busyness. This is the normal environment for these birds. Beautiful image :toast: .

Perhaps a bit busy, but this looks like a classic habit for a grebe. I too like the warm colors... nicely done.
