There was a little territorial dispute going on and I managed to grab a few frames.

I like the low angle shooting and the chosen crop. Super powerful with the splash done by each step. I wish to see and photograph this once. TFS.

Really nice sense of the speed at which these Grebe's race across the water, and the pano crop works very well Jon. Well done. :-)

Hi Jon,
Really like this one - great action! I like the aggressive pose with the head down, wings up and the left foot caught at the top of the stride. The splash trail looks terrific!

Well caught!

Very dynamic image... I like the sense of motion shown by the splashes of water, the intense look of the bird. Thank you for sharing.

[William Dickson]

Lovely. The dk BG pushes the bird out of the frame.

Love it

I'd be pretty happy with this capture. The splash behind the bird is so powerful. Like the raised foot and it's obvious the bird is in an aggressive mode.
