Clark's Grebe, protecting it's nest, they dive to avoid trouble. This one kept diving but would not go very far because the nest is near by.

From my kayak as usual.

Canon 20D
70-200 mm Canon lens
PP was some sharping and cropping.

Hello Scott
Great capture. Sharp catchlight and water droplets beading on the feathers are also perfectly in focus. How do you keep the 20D dry?

Hi Scott,
A great looking shot on this very unique looking fellow. He looks really funny with that punk hair cut and blazing red eye. Seriously thought, great exposure with beautiful saturated colors and sharp detail. Even down to the water droplets on him. Looks great!
Scott

Excellent control on the exposure, had to have been tough on this one but you sure were up to the taks, nice work.

Hello Scott,
Excellent portrait of this proud guy!
Composition wise I like the way he/she is popping out of the vegetation...
DOF spot on giving great details and colour in the bird!
Greetings,

Hi Scott, super catch of this fellow. Great composition, and he is nice and sharp too. Perfect timing for you too. Well done,
Janice

Fantastic bird Scott. Great Colours and POV. I love birds, and I know they are hard to capture...too much movement. So very well done!

Great portrait.. Where is the rest of his body !

Hi Scott,

This is absolutely one of my favourite birds. In .dk where I live, we have some other varieties, but their ways are as you describe none the same.

In my own picures I normally have very big problems with the red eyes, as they always tend to "oversaturate", and bloat colour all over. But appearently you've solved this completely.

Good going!

Best regards

Hi....Such interesting colours on this Grebe. I've never seen anything like it. I love how you can see the raindrops on his feathers. Your photo is so sharp, and your colours are great. I really like this photo. Janice
