This chick was staying tucked in with mom, hoping to encourage some breakfast, I suspect. Imaged last month in northern Michigan.
D4 600VR TC14E-II, f/10 ISO 800 Mounted in my boat
Post: Crop for comp. Small amount of canvas added to right. Selective sharpening. Cleaned up second reflection in each eye
Advice and comments always appreciated.
Cheers

I really like this Randy! A very different than the usual baby loon and parent image.
Great greens in the water and I really like the way the loons intersect one another.
IQ is tops as always with the whites perfectly exposed and a nice crop

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Brightest whites are 252, most in 240s, but will redo with a few points reduction. Thanks!

Really enjoying this image, Randy. The low POV is awesome, and I Love seeing them so close together so that you can really compare the two.
