Great shot. Not one of the birds we see posted here to often.

Very very nice captures. I love the second shot, the detail and the exposure are excellent and what a pose!

I prefer the 2nd shot. The background on the first is a bit distracting to me. very nice colors and light.

[GAELICSTORM7]

Wonderful shots, no 2 gets my vote :-)

Very nice shots of the grebe Alan. Low angle, nice colors, sharp........ I, too, like #2 the best.

Thanks for all your comments.

Its strange that you all prefer the 2nd shot cuz i like the 1st one more.Thats the way it goes i spose each person has they're own taste :cool:

I also prefer nr. 2. In nr. 1, it is a pitty that the darker bg area is behind the head of the bird.

Very nice captures, we have two or three kinds of grebes, but not that one. Great job.

Superb shots.. the colors of the bird and oof background are so complimentary.
