This adult common loon was goofing around on landing, dragging its wings as it came to a stop. Pretty unusual, and I though it made for a rather dramatic splash, aided by the back lighting. You can see the tannins in some of the water, esp. just in front of the bird.

PS: Slight crop, cleaned up a few random spots in the water.
Advice and comments always appreciated.

Wow, what a bow wave! Love the pano crop. I find myself wishing that the head and neck were a bit lighter. All in all, spectacular.
with love, a
Really nice action and I like the backlit water. I agree with Artie re: the dark head and neck.
I love this, Randy!! Superb water action with lots to take in and study, and the backlighting works really well. I'd be tempted to darken the paler strip along the top edge, but all-in-all this is quite a memorable frame.
This is the best splash I have ever seen in a bird frame. Now that is a wave technically I guess. Good thinking on the back lighting. Really gives it some depth and demension.
Looks like an elaborate glass bowl, very nice.
