Very nice “pose” and the snack looks delicious! Eyeballing a “horizon” line through the ripple, it looks like a slight CCW rotation would be in order.

Hi David, Love the orangish-red eye and it’s always great to catch feeding behavior with prey. I like the composition with full reflection. Well done.

Nice angle for the shot and good lighting. Amazing at 10% of full frame. I am sure the Grebe is happy.

Really nice pose from the grebe, David, and the prey is a great addition. The water looks great. Interesting that Diane suggest a slight CCW rotation. When I look at it, I think slightly CW, but water is so difficult that way.
