Pulling some images, as I am headed to the Falkland Is. with a group next week.
This silvery grebe was incredible, and the images with the chick on the back are not half bad either ;)

Beautiful bird and excellent capture. I like the composition, details and exposure control. The droplets add to it.

Gorgeous portrait Chas! Love the details and waterdroplets, the red eye and blue water BG is the icing on the cake! Love it....

OUtstanding details Charles. A truly magnificent image. Love the slowly fading (out of focus) water. :)
