This summer I had the pleasure of being a guest at the Lac le Jeune Resort, BC. While I went up there to photograph Common Loons there were so many species around it was a bit overwhelming. This image was made from a small boat.

Big welcome, glad you are here.

What a tender, emotional image, I can look at it for a while and see something new every time.

Wow, what a shot with great realism and tenderness. The chicks seem to pop out of the photo.

Beautiful image! You're braver than I, to have dragged your 600 out in a "small boat" !

Welcome, Scott. Great mood and details are great for 1/80s on a boat. It definitely needs a cuteness alert. :)

Hey Scott!

Sweet image indeed, love the interaction and the cuteness factor is up the scale. One little guy is not cooperating but there is one in every crowd eh! I like the tight crop here because the image has that tight knit feel to it.

Welcome to BPN old buddy!
ps: Love the new Lens Hoodies you guys make! ;)
