Very nice take off shot, Geoffrey.
Good take-off captured, and in handsome breeding plumage. A little more SS would have stopped the action more, if you had had enough light, but the blur gives it a dynamic feel. I assume this is what we would call a Red-throated Loon.

I like the running pose and the soft light and the handsome loon! Using a higher ISO would have enabled you to get the feet sharp and the wing position could be better ideally, especially the near wing.
