Beautiful lighting and very nice detail. Like the water colors and reflections. I'm wondering if this might be a Clarke's Grebe as the Western has black surrounding the eye and the bill is usually not this yellow.

Real nice colors in the water and a great reflection. The "v" of the wake brings my eye right through the image nicely. Well done! Sharon
