Very nice. I especially like the arc of water coming off the belly.

I'm with Rich, a somewhat subtle aspect (the arc of water) but it adds nicely to this wonderful image.
Makes it even more special Sandy.
Well done & have a great weekend

Wonderful shot Sandy, your Loon series has been a pleasure to view - must have been a great trip. I too like the water off the belly. Exposure looks spot on and it's nice and sharp. My only minor nit is the intersection of the tip of the Loon's right wing with it's neck, I would prefer to see separation of all key elements, but with nature, you take what you can get. Anyway, it's a lovely shot and I would love to have it in my portfolio.

Great pose and exposure, I like the wake of water it's stirring up.

Really envy your Loon shots Sandy. Blacks and whites handled well, love the splash.
