Beautiful image, Bill. Great pose with water droplets on its back, and the prey takes it up a notch. Excellent work.

This is a superb image, Bill! I love everything about it. Not only is it a great behaviour capture, but its also artistically beautiful.

Nice image, Bill.
The posture of the grebe with its trophy!
Nice exposure and tones as well.
