75 day old loon

I went to the lake yesterday and found only the chick. I would guess the parents have left for the winter. It was the only chick to be born this year and seemed to be happy for company.

D7100 with 80-400 at 400mm f/5.6 1/320. ISO 1000 as it was quite cloudy.

Love the color palate and you have wonderful details and angle here, Alan. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more on top and less on the bottom if possible.

Awesome! I love it. Great head angle, BG and colours, and I am liking the comp as is too. I'm really digging the hint of rust-brown feathers on the back. I suspect the image may need a tad CW rotation though. Very nicely done.

Thanks for the suggestions Marina and Dan.

beautiful colours and lots of detail on the Loon. Love those small ripples coming off the loons breast
