A coy look for her mate.

[Randy Stout]

This common loon was bobbing around with me and its mate, looking rather sweet I thought. I like the effect when the bend their neck this way. Shot at about 8:30 pm in Northern Michigan.

D500. 600VR. f/7.1 ISO 800. 1/2000s . Sitting in the bottom of my little boat.

Post: LRCC, PS 2020. This is full frame, actually added a little canvas at the top. Cleaned up some spots in the water.

Advice and comments always appreciated.

Cheers

I didn't get round to commenting on the last 'jewelled loon' thread, but this is another beauty. The lines of the water beads are just perfect, and the details are superb

Lovely detail and pose on this one. The green water is nice as well.

Excellent image Randy! I like the details, composition, water drops, IQ and that clear red eye.
