Looks like he's pulling off some form of levitating trick! A very fun shot, well done, Denis.

Denis, what a great shakeout pose, love the flying water drops and the fluffed out feathers.  The curvy elongation of the head and neck reminds me of a snake that's striking!

Very cool pose Denis. I caught a grebe in a similar pose the other day just as it finished preening. I thought he was going to give me a wing flap, but i was happy with a similar pose to this. Cheers
Thanks for looking,
