Nice colors and nice tone.
I particularly like the ripples of the wake behind the bird.

[Arthur Morris]

Sharp with a nice fish. Which wetlands? Bolsa? With the sun from the left the shadow of the fish on the bird's chin is less than ideal.

with love, artie

Lovely light on both the eyes of predator and prey,like the position caught in the frame,a beautiful image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I usually prefer lower angles, but the higher perspective works nicely here. Great looking eye - and the one on the grebe as well:t3. A bit of noise on the upper part of the frame could be dealt with.

[John Mack]

Light looks very nice here. The fish is a plus. Nothing like photographing birds at wetlands.

[David Salem]

Great look at this grebe and I love the well lit red eye. The fish is a big bonus and I like that we can see his head and eye well. Well done Tim

[Susan Smitha]

Whenever I see those little red eyes it feels like those eyes are dragging me. astonishing shot tim!
