Lovely sharp close-up of this grebe. I would crop some off the bottom as I don't feel the reflection is that important. The blue color in the water while nice, seems to emphasize too much for me and I find concentrating on the grebe harder. Thanks for posting. :)

Lovely low angle Paul, and agree that more of a pano crop would work in this. Still, well captured.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Good angle, eye contact and details. I would crop a bit off top and bottom.

Nice details and pose, I love the water colors! Would only crop a sliver off the top to eliminate some of the blue above his head only.

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice profile in sweet water. The blue part on top could go cropped. Nice sharpness all aorund.
