That's a nice serene image Jonathan...imho

Very nice! great IQ and POV. Great feather detail.
I might be tempted to fill in the white area in the RUC but it is not a deal breaker at all.
I would smooth out the round specular highlight behind the birds head.

Terrific POV and well detailed. I too would consider removing the grey above, and the grey "blobs" and specular orbs! With these few edits i think the FG and BG would be more dramatic for this loon. Love the water droplets and that cinnamon eye.

Lovely image, Jonathan. I like everything about it. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful perspective, sharpness and love the bubbles. I'm wondering about increasing the exposure by about 1/3. Overall if feels dark to me, but a matter of salt and peppering to taste. :)
