One crunchy crawdad to go - juvi loon with snack

[Randy Stout]

I had a chance to spend some time with the loons in northern Michigan over the holiday. The last time I had been there, I had not been able to find a pair of juvis in their usual spot, and was really concerned. Well, I am thrilled to say that I found them about 50 yards from the boat launch this time, and they swam right up to my boat as if to say hello! I think I spend too much time on the lake!

Post: Small crop for comp. Selective sharpening. I could see a bit more off the bottom, but it is already pretty panoish!

Advice and comments always appreciated.

Cheers

Love it, Randy. Streaks of water on face, snack, droplets on his back, all add up to make this a sweet image to view.

Nice looking frame Randy. I like the water drops on the head and the crawfish going down the hatch. Nice low POV also. It looks a little bright on my monitor. Nice work as usual.

I like the catch, water drops, composition and water colour. Nice image Randy.

Very nice Randy and I love the catch!
