    Default loon and flowers and reflection

    I usually try to get closer than this to loons but the flowers gave a nice bg and reflection

    Great choice to go wide here ... lovely environmental image and refreshingly different!

    For my taste, bird could be bit further to the left in the frame.
    It might be an illusion but I keep thinking it could use a touch of CW rotation.

    Mike, I fooled around with rotation and decided on this. The loon and the "coastline" are not the same.
    I took some off the left already. I did not take more (as I usually would) as it would be too square imho.

    Very attractive scene with great colors.
    I think the Loons head could be just a bit sharper?

    Lovely scene. Great with the flowers and the reflection. I agree with Dan, the bird could use some sharpening. I would hate to crop off of the left, as it has the best flowers so I would leave it as is.
