The drake of the grebe pair, this time, I hope, a little brighter than last. 60% of full frame. Slight sharpening.
C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful look at this bird, Jim. The gentle lighting and the perfect reflection are great plus you've got the added interest of that subtle ripple around him.

Super image of a species I have yet to see, let alone photograph. Nice colors and pose. Reflection is excellent. Perhaps a little off the top?

Very nice. The still water reflection is really pleasing. Brightness on this one looks good.

Lovely image, Jim. I'm not familiar with this species, soI can't really comment on the brightness, though it is looking pretty dark toward the tail. However, if you increased it any more, I think you'd blow the highlights on the breast.

Really hope to see and photograph this species someday. Love the light and especially the still blue water...it really helps this guy and his reflection to pop off the page. Nicely presented Jim.
