I really like the mood of the photo and the way the bird is offset to the right. Technically, I am no help as I just got a 40D about a week ago. Curious, is the ef500 a fixed lens and approximately how far away were you from the Grebe?

Stu - this is one of those images that really would look good on video as well, especially with a few 'twinkles' from the highlights :biggrin:

Nice evocative end-of-day atmosphere - I like it - proper wall-hanger :toast:

Nice feel to this - try a flip so bird is swimming left to right as well - subconsciously that way is more pleasing/less tension which will suit the mood of this image imo.
