Certainly not too busy - never easy to get a shot like this of a Pied-billed grebe and the reflection is sweet

I like this a lot as posted. In fact it is much like an image I had planned as my next post. I love the setting and the colors.

A bit busy, but the light and the reflection more than overcome the busyness. This is the normal environment for these birds. Beautiful image

Perhaps a bit busy, but this looks like a classic habit for a grebe. I too like the warm colors... nicely done.

Sharon, wonderful lighting & feather detail on the grebe! Personally I don't think the setting is too busy & I find the reflections pleasing.
