A little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficoliis) , I found this week-end on a small fishing pond;
the reflection of the sun on the water was kind of hard and not easy to deal with; hope you like it!

I like it Herman! :D :D The bird is super sweet in this awesome breeding plumage, crisp sharp with plenty details and good dof. The bright reflections are a bit dominant but its still a lovely shot! :wink:

Great detail and the concentric circles make the image for me, Herman.
