Superb image, Frank. All the tech and your shooting angle are perfect, The interaction puts it in a special category.

Tender moment captured very nicely, Frank.

Frank:

Intimate moment captured well, excellent colors,pose. I might try a version cropped slightly tighter top,bottom and left, but very well done as posted.

Cheers

Lovely moment. Great background and both birds sharp plus perfect exposure. Nice to see spring has arrived somewhere.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Frank I am jealous, so far I haven't managed any grebes this year let alone a shot so splendid as this one, absolutely super love the pose and the colours. The low angle suited and the composition are suited admirably.

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely interaction/behavior. The crossed beaks draws the viewer's eye right in.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent timing, perfect execution. You're having a blockbuster season with this species and I've enjoyed every one of the images you've shared of these beautiful birds. TFS and keep them coming.
I agree with Randy that a slightly tighter crop might work well to showcase the interaction.

[Robert Holguin]

Excellent shot.
Wonderful interaction captured.
Terrific low angle, nice light, excellent details, and great comp.
Very well done.

You seem to be capturing the ideal light on all these Grebe shots Frank, just lovely timing.....another superb image

[Doug Brown]

Exceptional image Frank! Everything came together for you; interaction, light, DOF, sharpness, and shooting angle. I do agree with Randy's crop suggestion though.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Man, this is a spectacular image. Colours, techs, light...everything is there.
