Late Fall Loon-scape v2.0

[Daniel Cadieux]

Here is the other image I mentioned posting on the first loon-scape thread. Individually I am not sure which I like best (I flip-flop on that lots), but I do know that as a pair they make a nice side-by-side duo. I like the very faint trees in the BG. This one was taken 8 minutes after the other.

Canon 7D + 100-400L @400mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1000s., f/7.1, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, slight rotation and corners cropped off (95% FF).

I like this one better, I like more fog and I like the angle of the Loon better.

Daniel:

I prefer this one as well. I like the balance of the small, closer, more distinct bird vs. the more distant , less sharp trees. Works for me.

Cheers

Love this one. The single loon makes for a great mood. The fog and oof tree put it over the top. Bet it would make a great large print.????

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful. Perfect HA to identify the loon; great comp. Lovely mood.

[Shawn Zierman]

This is beautiful. Both images are equally successfull imo. I like the sense of depth you achieved here with the softly defined far background trees.

[Robert Holguin]

Beautiful image.
Love the calm mood and the fog. Excellent comp, love the lighting, and colors.
I had to go look at the other shot and I really like this shot more.
Very well done.

I didn't see the first one, but this one pushes all the right buttons for me! I like the placement of the bird low in the frame, and there's a perfect amount of habitat at the top and right of the frame. Well done!

This is a beauty Daniel. The mood and the design are just lovely. I'll go look for loon-scape v1.0 now :)
