Hello Scott, Beautiful capture of this wonderful bird.
Nice colours with fantastic details.
Lighting and composition are splendid.
Why you dont write notes?

Beautiful shot, although the backpart of the bird is missing.The water gets another element to me like you took it, and the spark in its red eye make me stop thinking for a second...Thanks, CarOze

Hi Scott, I would have tried to take this one a little faster, given that the bird is moving in the water in this shot, but at the same time, who am I to argue with this success.

This is one of the sharpest, most excellent shots of a loon that I've seen. You've composed it well, complete with that small wake of water up front, and the colour is very close, complete with the teal chest and that great capture of that eye. Detail throughout is excellent.

One very small point, and one which is easy to fix on your home copy is the very small dust spot 45 degrees down from the front of the beak. Also some notes would be good. I'm not looking for notes about the loon; if I didn't know anything about them I could check wiki, but some notes on the shot and processing would be nice.

Thanks, John
