Pied-billed grebe seen shortly ahead of sunset at a local pond. Low angle of light left the water nicely dark. Looked cute enough to name accordingly. Had high ISO to allow fast shutter speed, as many of the birds were quite active.

Well captured and processed but I thing it would have been more effective if you'd cropping in a little more to show the feather detail.

Cute little duck - wish he were just a touch sharper (in better focus) and we had a bit more eye contact. Nice contrast with the green. No vote, comment only
