David,
I usually like more space on the left when the subject is looking that way, but being in the same shooting situation as you were many times , it sometimes can't be done. I like the light io the water as well as the catchlight in its eye. Very nice.

Nice tight shot of a grebe David, if only they didn't lose their gorgeous summer plumage this time of year. (For those who don't know Pied-billeds, that's a joke. All they really lose is the black band on their bill that gives them their name.) I think Jack is on the right track, I'd be tempted to crop just a bit off the bottom and off the right. I like the color in the water and the background vegetation, might even boost the saturation a bit more.
