Cute Grebe

I found this Pied-billed grebe at a local pond. I just thought he was really cute. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 along with Light Crafts Lightzone.. Comments and critiques welcome.

Hi Jerry,

Nice cute PB grebe. The head looks a little soft and could use a touch of localized sharpening. The white patch is quite strong and appears to have lost some detail. The placid water and overall brown tones are pleasing in the image..................Jim

It's pretty darn cute, Jerry. I agree with the suggestions. I'm pretty sure you can tease more detail out of the hot white tail.

One of my all-time favorites, these birds have such great antics and I love how they disappear beneath the water. Cant' beat this shot
