  I agree with Cindy. Lovely shot. Nice definition and sharpness.
My shots of the Comorant and Snow Goose would have been clearer if I rememberd to change my converter settings to telephoto.
Those "little" things that make or break the image!

  Congratulations on your WONDERFUL capture, Bill! Great lighting, detail, and colors! (I rarely ever see any grebes over at BelMar. Was this shot over by the lagoon?) CONGRATS, again!

  Thank you for the kind words Cindy, Marvil, Kay, and Cary.

This was taken on the north side of the island that is across from the covered viewing platform.

  What a great shot here, Bill, congrats!! The gold color of the water here really makes the shot. Nice, clear image here.
