This fellow was captured last August. I liked the shimmery blue/silver water.

Nice peaceful image. You have nice eye contact, low shooting angle and a nice pano crop, Randy.

[Diane Miller]

Beautiful -- I love the low angle and DOF on the water, (The loon isn't bad, either!)

I might think about lightening the reflection just a little more at the bottom of the frame.

Spectacular image with beautiful pano crop. Very nice pose, colors and details. Love the low shooting angle and wonderful BG.

Regards,
Satish.

Superb subtle colors here Randy. like the POV, the IQ and the details very much!

[Ivan Ellison]

Love the muted tones with this shot. The pano suits him really well- sometimes an odd size bird to get right in the frame. Another great image of a bird you seem to get right every time. TFS

lovely low angle with excellent exposure and details Randy

Hi Randy, another great low angle from your boat, and these guys always seem to give you such great poses. Nice and sharp, and good constrast in colours between the brown of the Loon, and the blues of the water. Well captured.

Hi Randy,
I am late to the party but have to say I love the blues in this image.
Your usual awesome low POV and IQ.
