Vaughn, great to see you posting my friend!
So yeah, this is about as close up to a Horned Grebe as I've seen. Lots of striking components such as the patterning in the iris of the eye and the striations in the beak. And if he had any nose hairs, by God we'd see them here...
I actually quite like the blue and neutral introductions in the bkg.
Only a couple thoughts - one, did you have any more room to the right? It would be nice to give him some room looking that way. And second, feels like maybe some of the grainer areas in the plumage and the bkg might benefit from a little noise reduction.
Striking frame, TFP!

Love the framing, the wet look, the striated BG and of course that eye. TFS

Brian and David thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I do see the graininess, missed it during my edits. Will give these a try.
