This was taken at one of my favorite lakes here in MN. She had one baby this year which I
was also fortunate enough to photograph on the same day. Hope you like it and thank you
for taking the time to look.

Superb, Karen. One of your best. You've captured the iridescent greens and reds just about perfectly.

Hey Karen, this is excellent. BTW do you know if I am still on the waiting list for your LoonShops...I think Greg was above me but I was wondering if you could push me ahead of him. I need more work than he does...

The subtlety of the changing head colors is amazing and I love the eye in the middle of it all.

Excellent job on the exposure getting the sheen in the blacks.

I really like the lighting and detail on the head, and the water is very attractive! Wonderful image!

This is surely a marvelous close-up. The differing tones of green shine through very well and the other subtle colors make this quite a feat, IMO.

This is an awesome loon shot. They are such a gorgeous bird......and so difficult to get with all the colors showing. You managed it all quite well.
