This is rather a large crop, but I still like the head turn.

Thanks for looking,

A very nice capture of my favorite Grebe. Some detail lost from the crop but overall very nice. I agree on the head turn.

I like this one Dennis. A great look at this bird with the eye and water drops. All the colors work together. Nice.

Very nice, Dennis. I like the head turn showing off that great red eye. Nice detail and very well composed.

Den,
It's the water drops on the back that gets my attention. For a large crop you have pretty decent detail left. The head turn is nice. Tough bird to expose for unless you have some clouds or are shooting early or late in the day. Nice grab Dennis.
