 This is a Horned Grebe (Slavonian Grebe according to Europe), recently landed in the Iceland for summer to lay their eggs and raise their young. I shot this on a loaner Canon R5 Mark II and RF 600/4L IS. It's hard to make bad shots with that combo.

More of that gorgeous color handling I just love so much in your work. I get what you mean about your kit's contribution, but I guarantee I could have used the same setup and it would have rendered flat by comparison. Congrats!
