    Default Loons in the Mist

    A mystical loon image from Lac Le Jeune, BC just this time last year.

    Taken very late in the evening from a moving small boat, and lots of processing to bring out details of a very dark image.

    Beautiful mood and mist Sandy. The Loons look so natural in that environment. I like the way you composed this with the second one just turning it's bill. Nicely done.

    Sandy, I love the fog and the whites on the loon looks like silver:) It is a very peaceful image.

    Hi Sandy, I think you brought out just enough detail to make a very nice image. Like the moody feel!

    Sandy, I love what you were able to do with low light and a rocking boat. I see from your EXIF that you shot this at 1/125. The sharpness is remarkable. Agree about the moody feel and that you have done just the right amount of processing. I think this might be a good image to try the chiaroscuro effect on.
