Western Grebe

[Glenn Bartley]

At the local marina there are a few Western Grebes hanging about. Its a kind of neat photo opportunity as you can walk out on the docks and get really close. The challenge is getting a shot in water that is not a boats reflection ;)

Excellent image Glenn. The reflection works very well with your composition and the eye is very nice as well!

Great portrait, details and exposure control. I might give it a bit more space on the bottom.

Weird that there is no thumbnail.

Excellent exposure Glenn....however I really would have liked to see a lower shooting angle.

[Jody Melanson]

Very nice portrait, Glenn. Lots of detail. Would also like to see a lower angle.
