I love the calls that these guys produce!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Very cool, Jody! I like the angle, water colors, details and open bill. Maybe a tad CW rotation?

[Marko Matesic]

Great colors and low angle...light is fantastic....agree with Axel about CW rotation....
congrats!

Hey Jody,

This is very nice man, love the low angle. There is a tiny white spot in the water that is bothering me just in front of the bird. Excellent image!

[Trey Barron]

Love the water color and the open mouth. I agree on the rotation.

I've never seen a red-necked grebe or heard its call. A pretty bird captured nicely!

[Greg Lasley]

Greast shot Jody. The bird is very crisp and I actually like the reflection being rippled a little in the water and love the open bill...I assume it was calliing? Excellen positiont in the frame. I've not seen enough of these birds and need to get back north again!
