Perfect placement of the birds, great timing. The larger versions colors appear different and more natural. Loons make ideal silhouette shots because they are instantly recognizable. I think the photo feels a bit tilted.

Nice shot.

I long to be in the canoe at this moment! I agree it seems a little tilted. Nice capture and timing.
