Spectacular image with everything in my opinion Perfect! The focus is spot on , this image is absolutely clear, exposure is perfectly managed, the colors and tones are natural, this is a gorgeous horned grebe , his reflection is the cherry on top ! Beautiful work ! It's an inspiration to view! Well presented!

Another 6 star imade!! Sorry I don't have any 6s left. His red eye looks unreal! Wonderful nature! Of coarse, everyone knows you're bird lover, G! But this one is different, too. His reflections almost like a mirror reflection, look unreal to me. It must be very calm and peaceful water. I like the photographer's name, too. This photo is stunning!

A beautiful bird that does not frequent the lake I live on. I like the composition and the great colors. The detail in the plumage is excellent and the reflection is eye catching.

What a sweet little bird Grace, and as always you have pictured it so well. I especially like the fine reflection you have captured in the mirror like water, and I also think the light is falling on the bird in such a lovely way.

Your photo is very sharp showing clear and well defined details in every part of the bird, and the exposure is spot on.

The format you have cropped the photo into works well together with a good placement of the bird off to the left. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.
