Like the composition on this and the techs look good -- liking how the blue water serves as a "platform" for the grebes however not liking so much the blue coming from the grebes head --

The large version is a must to look at. Great detail and sharpness. I also like the colors in the image.

Cute capture and nice management of the depth of field. The water color is wonderful.

Wow, nice to get both in the same focal plane and handheld with a 500mm from a bobbing boat on Clear Lake no less. Dave

They're Siamese twins right? Wow!
Both sharp, great framing too Sandy.
I like the reflected greens & blues of the water also, well done
