300 2.8IS x 1.4 from kayak

Jeff, No harder pose on a Loon to expose for and looks as if you nailed it! How are you keeping things dry in the Kayak? I am off to Northern VT in search of Loon family photos, this capture of yours gets me wanting to leave this AM!! Bob

Exposure and details look great. There are some sharpening artifacts, especially around the bill and head. Maybe a bit tight in the frame.

Great job on the exposure of what appears to be the "Penguin dance" or maybe she is just flapping her wings. I just had an opportunity to get this shot and did, but my whites didn't come out as nice as yours. Love these birds!

Jeff
The pose looks very good....and nice exposure. I immediately noticed the "artifacts" that Axel mentioned. It actually looks like maybe some blurring happened unevenly around the head and chest.

Great pose and very nice compo, just needs a bit of a different approacj in post-processing. Sweet water drops!

For those who do not know. It is a very difficult shot to get here. Jeff nailed it. Go get them Jeff. Love the whites. I hope to post one of these like this one day. Great work as always. Nits noted.
