I like the details and colors you captured in this image. The eye of the grebe is nice and sharp. Too bad the reflection is broken up by the plants in the water, would have been nice to have all of it. Just a minor thing. Thanks for sharing.

Great light and exposure, Jim. The depth is just enough to keep the plants in the water from compeating with the sharp gerbe.

These guy's are so cute. You captured this one very well Jim. I think the vegetations adds interest to the scene. Nice work.

Very nice details in sweet light Jim, the background looks a touch noisy but not bad.

Excellent shot, great feather detail. I've never managed to get close enough to one to get a shot. You've done well. Ray
