MN state bird and Jr.
I thought I'd give this forum a try after discussing it with Joel T. over coffee recently.

This photo is a mainstay Loon shot, but I like it because it's mine and it came from my lake. The Loons will forage near the boat without fear, sometimes surfacing close-by with a look of "if you have to be here just don't get in the way".

20D, EF 500 f4L, 1/320, f5.6, ISO400, tripod w/sidekick, while drifting on my pontoon boat.

Ken,

Wow This is a 5 star in my book! If we to be really picky and its a stretch, I might crop a bit off the top and a bit on the left, as it is I love it!

Keep them coming!

Welcome to the Midwest forum, Ken! Great image of the loon family. The eye contact is wonderful. I agree with Jack that some selective cropping will make this a real winner.

Ken - next time you have coffee with Joel T., tell him I said Hello! Not that we've met in person, but.....

Hey, crop or no crop this shot is a winner - I like it a lot. Post some more!

Good to see a post from you Ken. Very nice image, the light is lovely. I like it as is, but I can see where a crop would work as well.

Next time you have coffee with Christopher Jordan...oh wait. :jump:
