Holy smoke! That is one weird looking bird - are you sure you didn't make it yourself in photoshop!

That red, white and black eye is really something else! And the bulk of black and tan feathers on the side of the head! Not like any grebe I have ever seen!

Light is a bit high and harsh, but you have to grab them as you can. I have lots of shots of splashes and tail feathers with grebes.

Thanks for sharing - it's really wild!

Hi Michael, Wonderful detail captured here and the eye is amazing , well done

Nice details, I feel it's a tad washed out, maybe a bit more contrast or tone adjustment.
