This will probably get lost due to the thumbnail looking like nothing, so thank you for getting this far to see it.
I know the Grebes are small in the frame, but I was taken by the whiteness around them due to light and shadow from some overhanging trees.
I got as low as I could to make the birds stand out from the whiteish background.

Thanks for looking.

Phil

Given the difficult light situation, you have done very well capturing the pair as well as this, Phil.

What a fine pair they are Phil, superbly captured. I bet this one was taken at either Coate Water or the Cotswold Water Park
