We are fortunate to have Red-necked and Horned Grebes visit the local marina every year. This was taken a few weeks back during a morning visit prior to going on a volunteer day at the furniture bank. It so happened that the furniture bank was no more than 5 minutes from the marina.
I purchased the 7d II when it was released late last year, didn't really used it much over the winter months. I was hoping that it would be far better in all aspects of it's older brother. I think it's a winner except for one thing... noise. In my opinion it's a slight improvement over the older model but it's not what I was expecting. I really like this camera but I think my next body will be a full frame.

Hi Ramon
What a superb shot !! Looks like its looming out of the fog reflection blurred enough not to lok bad when "chopped " Love the way the BG merges right through to FG. Exquisite detail on the bird.
Wow !

Hi Ramon a very clean and well executed portrait from a low POV . Nicely done and processed .Love the tonal range and the detail you extracted . For me the Grebe do sit a bit low in the frame though .
Super shot, A really nice background, and the transition from foreground to background is excellent. I like the exposure. I agree he sits slightly low in the frame.
