I really like this image Sandy

The pano crop is a very pleasing fit. The chick found the perfect place to hang out.

Awesome Photo!!!

I like this one. Great low angle. I like the pano crop as it accentuates the wing spread. Nicely captured.

Excellent shot Sandy, I really like the low water perspective, wing spread and you can just see some color on the head, the larger image was a pleasure to view, way to go.

Outstanding image. The head appears a little soft and under exposed on my monitor.

Super image, Sandy. Perfect everything - pose, angle, background. The chick under the spread wing adds a great element to the image.

Sandy, this is one of my favorite Loon images of yours to date. Love the wingspan and the chick adds a another nice element. My only tiny little nit is, it looks to need a smidgeon of a CW rotation. Nice work!
