I continue to be amazed by the variety of behaviors that the "common loon" can display. This one was imaged in northern Michigan. It had its head under water in a peering pose (looking for fish) for a few seconds, then lifted its wings with the head still under water, and eventually popped its head up like this.

Post: PS CS4 noise reduction on background, selective sharpening, 10% crop for composition
Should have gone with smaller aperture for greater DOF.
Advice always appreciated
