Eared Grebe in winter plumage. The larger version shows this much better.

C&C welcome.

A sweet shot. Fine techs, nicely sharp and a bonus reflection. A completely different looking bird than the uncommon breeding birds we see in southeastern and southcentral Alaska.

A simple but effective image Gaurav. Sharpness, exposure, light and IQ look good. Agree with Jim that they almost look like a different species in this plumage.

Nicely framed ! Due to the overall lack of color in this image, the red eye stands out pretty nice ! Greetings, Hans

The larger version shows how nice this image is. Beautiful eye sharpness and overall clarity.

That red eye really draws you into the image, maybe a slight CC rotation but a fine shot with placing the camera on the ground, way to go.

Very nice. Agree that it needs a CW rotation (Not CC)
