This was taken last spring here in central Minnesota. I spend a fair amount of time in June trying to capture these moments and am happy when it all works out.
Nikon D200 ~ Nikkor 300mm F/2.8
F/8 ~ ISO 320 ~ 1/640 sec (on boat)
That's a big baby. Excellent use of d-o-f. Not sure of the juxtapostion but not sure how to improve it... Later and love, artie

Nice image and framing. The only thing I found helpful when shooting loons is to make sure the sun is behind you to illuminate their eyes. If you are unable to get the sun to illuminate the eyes it might be beneficial to try a flash/better beamer combination. Best of luck. I know how tough it is to get good images of these beautiful birds.
