Another shot taken at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge last month. One of three species of grebes I saw that day. 40D, 100-400 at 400mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, 1/640 sec. Click on link for image. C&C welcomed and appreciated.

Great shot but one suggestion. I'd crop the tail-end of the other bird out of the photo. Other than that, beautiful.

Great shot and I agree with Dan's suggestion of cropping! I enlarged it 400 percent and it still looked sharp. Good job!

I liked that also. I got some shots of these the next day, but it was pretty windy, and there were no reflections like this.
