    After a few days of bad weather we got some good light this morning. And two grebes were repeatedly diving for us and proudly showing off their catch -- well, maybe not just for us.

    Wonderful image with lovely reflection. Loved the details and water droplets on bird.

    Great bird and catch...especially that the fish is facing this way . With the nice reflection the high angle is forgiven, but I would like more room all around as the comp is very tight as is. The whites on the grebe are very hot too...revisiting the raw file would be worth it as I'm sure there is detail to recover in there.

    Must have been exciting to observe!!

    Satish, thanks for looking and commenting.

    Daniel, I didn't have any more room on the right and then I cropped to a 2X3 ratio; I see I should have changed that and given myself more room on the remaining three sides . . . I do tend to crop too tight always, however. I re-checked and see that the whites were in check on the original but changed to hot when I adjusted White Balance in LR, and I did not notice. Really appreciate your critique.
