Bird Photo Competition 6 2016 : Entry Number 114

This well-known grebe courtship display has been gloriously captured by shooting into the dawn light and mist.

Thank you for the recognition. The location is Lake Hodges in Escondido, California. The photo was taken at sunrise, actually a few minutes before, when the golden light perfectly backlit the rushing grebes. The morning mist & fog added an extra dimension to this photo. Gear used Canon 7D Mark II and 100-400 lens.
