I like it also! A cute photograph. Maybe crop off some more green in front.

High on the Cute scale. My nit is the OOF grass in front of the Grebe. If it were me, and I had the time to adjust, I usually try to increase my DOF so such items are in focus. My taste. Here again, taking what is presented rules. I think these Grebes are just plain fun to watch.

Very cute image! I like the OOF grass in the front. I think it makes a nice foreground.

Cute little pair of youngsters, it looks like the image could use a little ccw rotation. An engaging shot Jefferson :toast:

I can see why you like this one, a wonderful shot of the juveniles grebe's. My only suggestion would be to maybe take a look at a vertical crop with the left side margin right at the tallest reed but still very nice as is. Well done.
