This smile on this happy Grebe is like he is saying , "Woot -- I got me a white feather"

I agree, the grebe seems to have a smile on its face.
Pleasing bit of serendipity Scott

Techs look very nice, I might consider a slight CW rotation if you have the room.

Lovely detail and a good looking Grebe. About a 3 degree rotation CW would put a cherry on the whipped cream!

Really cool image, Scott. I love the feather in the beak and it looks like you were really close. Great water quality as well.
