I got this shot last week after two sessions at a local pond with a pair of these fantastic looking grebes. One of my favourite species for sure!

Ivan, stunning image. The light is wonderful, and so is the head turn. Congratulations on this very fine image.

An absolute gem, one of my favourite species too!  I studied the nesting ecology of Horned Grebes in Canada for my post-graduate thesis, perhaps the best three years of my life!  I love the warm light of this image, and the touch of blue in the water complements the grebe's colours beautifully. Thanks so much for sharing :-)
