    This handsome fellow was captured several years ago and never processed.

    D4. 600VR with 1.4TC. f/6.3. 1/1250s. ISO 640

    Post: Full frame, LRCC and PS. Cleaned up a few small spots of debris on head, removed a second catchlight.

    Advice and comments appreciated.

    Cheers

    Spot on Randy, the detail is excellent, the blue wave is intriguing, a really pleasing image.

    Sweet profile shot of this Loonie, with a striking bow wave and lovely green water.

    Excellent shot, Randy! Great colors, POV and detail. The blue wave adds a lot of interest. You've nailed the exposure too. I can see some dust spots (one below the bill and a few on the LHS), but other than that, no nits from me. TFS

    I too, noticed the dust spots but know you will take care of them!
    A classic Randy loon picture.
    Nice low POV and IQ. The bow wave adds a lot,

    The green water is nice. Perfect head angle on this one. Nice and sharp.
