Beautiful image! BG is to die for!
Welcome to BPN! What a terrific first post. I like the low angle. The light is splendid as is the water. "on Golden Pond" comes to mind.Good HA. I would sharpen the tip of bill-otherwise no nirs from me,

Nice reflection and colors in the water !
Excellent image Robert! I like the colours, low angle and BG.
Love that golden water!
Lovely image very good colours and fine detail. I fully appreciate the crop & reflection & golden colours - I like it very much, but I wonder what the image would have looked like had the bird been lower in the frame and with less gold and reflection, I suspect you made the right choice, I am just curious.

very beautiful, nice colors and details!

Splendid bird, killer colours on water and super sweet light. Welcome on board!
Thanks for the kind words and suggestions everyone. @Jonathan - I did make some images with the grebe lower in the frame. In this area of the water, there were some distracting elements above the frame.
Wonderful image.Loved the beautiful golden light.
Hi Robert, welcome to BPN, and enjoy your stay. The light and colours make this image, and the grebe is well exposed too. Since, the reflection is not that visible, I feel cropping up from the bottom ( at least a third ) wont harm the image. I agree with Gail to selectively sharpen the tip of the beak.
Beautiful bg and detail on grebe is excellent. I like the two different bgs blending
Just love the water color and the position of the bird with low angle.
