    Thought I would get in one more for this months theme. This one was taken a couple of years ago.

    Post: Crop for comp, selective sharpening.

    Advice and comments always appreciated.

    Cheers

    Absolutely gorgeous, Randy. If ever a perfect image I think this is one. Thank you for sharing.

    Wow! This is really nice Randy.
    Perfect HA's on all 3 loons, awesome POV and exposure spot on.IQ and DOF are excellent.
    I would clone out the round OOF circle just above the tail (in the green water),

    Hi Randy, perfect perspective for the monthly theme, and as Gail mentioned, all with good HA's. You have mastered exposing these guys so cant fault you there, and with a relatively slow ss, you havent done too bad on the sharpness either. There again, those two fuzzballs dont need to be sharpened, and Mom looks good. Another fine Loon image from you.

    Loon overload Randy, stellar! Those HA's, the closeness and the nestled wee ones are so sweet, IQ and POV all top notch, love the foot stretch too!

    One of your best Randy, wonderful poses all round and lovely soft light. Having the 2 chicks on board really takes this one over the top.

    Yet another beauty. This one's a stunner! Love the two chicks with good HA's, and the tranquil pose and velvety colors of the adult. Not to mention your Loonie II POV. This is about as good as it gets.

    Oh boy this is good. What I love most is the thin line of light around each individual's heads.

    Magnificent!! Aside from this family being too cute, the soft light, eye contact, POV, and detail throughout is perfect.
