One from Bosque Del Apache several years ago. Just perusing images and decided to process this one.

Canon 50D, 500mm f/4 with 1.4x TC
1/250 @ f/8

About 60% of full frame
Cloned out some distracting crud in the water.

Wonderful golden light bathing this grebe posing nicely for you Keith. I really like the graphic reflections of the reeds in the water.

Sweet Photo

The water is killer!
A little more room around would look nice for me.

Lovely shot. It almost looks like it came from a children's book.

Great head turn and sweet reflection, Keith. Composition of the crop is spot-on.
