Found this Grebe one morning last week and was able to get in a good position to capture this shot. This was taken handheld, laying on the ground.

Canon 7d
Sigma 150-500
1/500 @ f8
ISO 400

Nice, Jason. Lovely water and the eye really pops. Excellent angle.

Nice composition and low angle. The eye and face of the grebe seems just a touch out of focus.

I like the comp and lighting a lot here Jason, the face does look a touch soft. I would encourage you to comment on others images as well as posting your own. :toast:

I like the low angle and your comp. The slight softness has been mentioned. On my monitor the breast and chin look just a touch on the hot side. Very understandable with the lighting you had. Something easily corrected with a slight pull back on the highlights.
