Lovely sharp close-up of this grebe. I would crop some off the bottom as I don't feel the reflection is that important. The blue color in the water while nice, seems to emphasize too much for me and I find concentrating on the grebe harder. Thanks for posting. :)

Lovely low angle Paul, and agree that more of a pano crop would work in this. Still, well captured.

Good angle, eye contact and details. I would crop a bit off top and bottom.

Nice details and pose, I love the water colors! Would only crop a sliver off the top to eliminate some of the blue above his head only.

Very nice profile in sweet water. The blue part on top could go cropped. Nice sharpness all aorund.
