Loon silhouette
Shot this a few weeks on Saddleback Lake just before sundown. The lump below the adult's head is a backriding chick, one of the two this pair hatched this year. The other is hidden against its parent's side.

Some saturation adjustments and cropping from the horizontal original.

Hope you like it!

Nikon D2X
ISO 320

Nick,

Like the golden light down the middle. It makes the photo.

Hi Nick! Very nice shot!! Couldn't have asked for a better situation. I think I would crop a bit off the bottom but that's me. Hey, if you're not doing anything Saturday, go to The Gallery in Oquassic. I'll be showing there at her Arts and Antiques Show. I'd still like to meet you!

Chris....

It would be great to finally meet you on Saturday. How long will you be there?
