Scott, good detail & exposure on the loon. The water droplets falling from in front & behind add to the action IMO.

Very nice Scott. Love the pose with wings back as it comes up out of the water.
Like the bit of water drop action too. Great exposure, colors, side POV, and sharp details.
Only suggestion for improvement would be to rotate CW slightly if you have the room.
Well done & Happy Holidays

Nice pose; good getting close. Still some thin haloing going on in your processing that needs to be addressed. I agree about a CW rotation of a few degrees to level the water.

Really nice capture Scott... I agree with others about a slight rotation.

Nice one Scott. The bg is great and the water drops nice too. Did you shoot this vertical or crop from horizontal? Just wonder what it would look like horizontal. Agree on the rotation

Terrific pose Scott. Whites are very well exposed. May you continue to be blessed with exceptional light in 2012. Merry Christmas to you Scott.
