I have posted a series of recent loon images, all on various shades of green. Thought I would change it up this time.
D4 600VR with 1.4 TC f/6.3 1/2000s ISO 500 Pedestal mounted in boat
Post: CS5 selective sharpening, 20% crop for comp
I liked the colors on the bird and the lucky capture of the drip shadow on the breast
Advice and comments always appreciated!
Cheers

Randy - great low pov and your usual IQ. I like the blue water, it makes the loon pop a bit more. Water drops take it up a notch.
TFS,

The loon's head looks so amazingly sleek, and I love the water drops!!! Although I like the loons against the blue, I am partial to the green BG b/c it matches the green in the bird's head and neck which is quite visible here. Nice choice of crops and a very pretty blue.
Excellent IQ and comp. Love the dripping water. Especially love the shadow of the two trailing droplets on the chest :)
Superb, love it, especially that shadow from the water drop.

Randy, your loon shots are special...Loved the low angle, FG/BG, Sharpness, exposure and those falling droplets really add to the image..TFS
Beautiful image. Great pose, bg and details.
Beautiful image,love the blue,sharp,nice light,and the water drop adds a lot.well done.
Nice blues for sure, and yes that drop's shadow is really neat! I'm OK with a colour band along the top edge but here I'd rather see more of it (more canvas), or none (cloned out).
Super image captured! Love the detail and beautiful blue colours! Angle makes this very special.
Well done.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Much appreciated.
Daniel, I left the little colored band at top just for you:S3: The original frame has a modest tan band from the far shoreline. I cropped it for the desired comp. Removing the brown would be a trivial job, but I kind of like how it subtly plays with the brown in the water.

Hi Randy, I rate this the best of your recent series. Do I have to tell you that you have brought out the green sheen on the head and neck so well in this, nice and sharp, and I really like the blues of the water. Well timed to get the drooling water.
another excellent loon shot to add to your collection
Great image Randy! I like the low angle, sharpness, water drop with shadow and BG.
Beauty shot, Randy. I really like the low angle, dripping water and image quality.
Wonderful shot. Love the low angle, very nice light, great pose, and I really like the blue water.
Well done.
