Cropped to pano. Call was used. Sitting in the pond with waders on. Tripod set low to an inch above the water.

Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,

PS. Now that I see this on BPN site, I could add some blacks into the feathers on the back.

Pleasant image with wonderful pose from both Grebes. Superb job on the background and water. I think that eye of right bird could be 1/2 stop brighter to be identical to the left bird. And I might want to see this without water's specular highlights on the left side above Grebe tail on the left side so that both right and left sides are balanced. Yeah yeah; very picky. It works well as is but it is always nice to compare.

Terrific POV. Great to get good head angles and DOF on two birds at once. Lovely water FG/BG. Good points by Moe to be considered.

Super image. Both sharp and nearly mirroring each other.

Gail, nice low angle , I like how the BG and water are the same color and the water motion divides the pano crop. Good looking grebes in nice plumage.

Lovely pair and catching them looking at each other lifts it. Great reward for effort.

Excellent POV and great subjects.. I also think removing the highlight band on the left would improve although
that is pretty picky...

Not shabby. I'd have loved complete reflections ...

Low angle is great. Nice both birds have the same pose. Green water is another plus.
