Now that is a corker of an image Phil, the larger version really dose the image justice. Great angle, perfect colours :toast: :toast:

You weren't inspired by the Andy Parkinson Coot image by any chance, LOL.

Top stuff Phil.

As perfect as a grabe shot comes me thinks.

Well caught, exposure is spot which isn't easy with grebes

All been said Phil, it is a cracking image and I have to take my hat off to you with obtaining that shot using a right angled finder, it won't have been easy locating the bird in the viewfinder. Top shot my friend!

I agree with Steve, it is essential to view this image large to appreciate just how much detail there is in the shots. Cracking image.

Great work with the angle finder indeed Phil.
If I use mine I keep falling over :biggrin: :wink:
A little more space left for the bird to go into would be nice in my view but no big deal.
Great detail.

Great grebe position, and the water droplets only add the what is a very fine capture. Top grebe shot, Phil :toast:
