Pied-billed Grebe

I photographed this sub-adult Pied-billed Grebe yesterday morning at a nearby pond.

Oi Octavio,
Great colors and composition. Fill flash would have helped light up the bird just a little.
Nao sabia que tinha Grebe ai no Brasil.

Abracos,
Adams

Beautiful water!
Agree fill flash may have helped here.
Needs 1 degree or so of CCW rotation.

Beautiful water and a nice pose. Agree about + EC and/or fill flash and also about a slight CCW rotation.

I like the mood and water colors. Adding to the other suggestions, you could try to get more details using S/H and/or curves.

I like the simple composition wrapped with the beautiful golden BG. Another vote for reworking the levels adjustment on the grebe.

I like the colors and mood of this one.
