A very nice nature shot posted here! Your classic, full, off-centre composition does a fine job of showing off your handsome grebe. That red eye is amazing! Nicely done!!

Comment from Donna Ruiz
I'm glad you liked birds! I enjoy viewing your work. This little guy is beautiful. Your detail in this bird is marvelous. The reflection in the calm, cark, mirror-like water is fantastic. I just love the little tufts on his head and his amazing red eye. Really gorgeous image, Gracie.

Comment from Terry Loftus
This bird seems very calm and happy in the water. You've captured the water as if glass with the reflection that is so very clear. Colors are very vivid and natural.

Comment from Artistic Chick
Wow, those eyes are amazing. You've really picked up every interesting color and marking. His golden horns like flames coming from those eyes. His reflection on that beautiful colored water, is most interesting. Very cool

Here's another very attractive species of waterfowl that you've photographed wonderfully for us,Grace!
It's most definitely a really 'Good Show' of a picture and it's also one that's a lot of fun to see!

I like your beautiful lighting and gorgeous reflection on this shot of the Horned Grebe. Superb eye clarity! So beautiful are the many shades of blue on your background and the way it compliments your subject. Very well photographed, with good lighting, sharp focus, and incredible details.
Outstanding shot and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dan Hancock
Outstanding visual impact.
I like that the water shows no ripples ahead of the bird, as so looks very much like a natural mirror. Colors are good and the detail of the plumage is tack sharp which is in contrast to the smoothness of the water.
