So many enjoyable frames with the Western Grebe, including this one, which was super close.

In case you're wondering, the bottom is the actual bottom of the frame so I chose the composition accordingly. Hand-holding the R5 and 600mm cantilevered out in front of me (sitting up) at water level for several minutes at a time apparently gets exhausting so I got what I could as he cruised by at very close range :-/

FWIW, this is 2x3. I tried 16x9 and it was too short and 5x7 left too much above.
