    Nice colors and nice tone.
    I particularly like the ripples of the wake behind the bird.

    Sharp with a nice fish. Which wetlands? Bolsa? With the sun from the left the shadow of the fish on the bird's chin is less than ideal.

    I usually prefer lower angles, but the higher perspective works nicely here. Great looking eye - and the one on the grebe as well. A bit of noise on the upper part of the frame could be dealt with.

    Light looks very nice here. The fish is a plus. Nothing like photographing birds at wetlands.

    Great look at this grebe and I love the well lit red eye. The fish is a big bonus and I like that we can see his head and eye well. Well done Tim

    Thanks Artie, for pointing out the shadow, keeps me on my toes, I tend to overlook things sometimes.
