Hi y'all,

It's the courtship of the western grebes, I just love seeing these birds dancing on the water. This year I am trying back-lighting shots, here is one I am happy with, enjoy.

Thank you Ben. It took me many tries to get this shot, last year the reserveoir was foggy or cloudy most time; I got better lucky this time.

Outstanding capture Oliver. Nice work with the light too.

Thank you Alan, I love back-lighting shots, it's challenging, when I get it right, the results are often pleasing.

Thanks Jameel, I was going against the convention of "following the light".

Jim, you make me blush.

Wow Oliver.. This is so good. What a catch and superbly photographed.

Thanks Trent, there is always risk shooting against light, luckily I was wearing an umbrella hat to keep the flare out.

Well captured Oliver! Beautifull Image

Thank you, Roger.

Thank you Trent, I found out the brids in photo were "Clark's Grebes", these birds certainly put on amazing courtship show.
