    A simple profile look at this small Grebe. One of my favorite birds to observe.

    A beauty Dan, I love these little birds. Nice head angle, low POV (I only wish), complimenting background. Thank you for sharing.

    Yes a very alert looking little fella. I agree with Joe. Just my kind of reflection too- no too detailed or perfect.

    As usual Dan..Beautiful in every respect. If your grebes are as fast as ours, your lens must be on steroids. Dan, I see your shutter speed at 1/200...was this taken on a tripod?

    TFS!

    Excellent pose and nice detail in the bird, Dan. The bird could use some magenta and red cast reduction, IMO.

    I like the inquisitive pose, sharpness, complimentary colors and composition. Very well done Dan.
