Cropped to pano. Call was used. Sitting in the pond with waders on. Tripod set low to an inch above the water.
Canon 1DX 600mm and 1.4x
ISO 1600 F 8 SS 1/800
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,

PS. Now that I see this on BPN site, I could add some blacks into the feathers on the back.
Pleasant image with wonderful pose from both Grebes. Superb job on the background and water. I think that eye of right bird could be 1/2 stop brighter to be identical to the left bird. And I might want to see this without water's specular highlights on the left side above Grebe tail on the left side so that both right and left sides are balanced. Yeah yeah; very picky. It works well as is but it is always nice to compare.
Not shabby. I'd have loved complete reflections ...
