I like this image as it shows all the water beads on the body and
head. I went down to the water level and crouched down as much as I could. He then woke up and looked at me before he went back to sleep.

I like the serene mood, low angle and reflection add to it.

A lovely two for one with the reflection, Karl and yes, he does seem very at home! Excellent detail, including the pristine water drops!

Agree with your assessment-water beads really say "loon" . Lovely pose.

The water droplets certainly give a very special look to your image, Karl- quite unique.

A stunning capture as usual, with a very nice reflection.

This is wonderful. Love the reflection and the water droplets, plus the head turn is a very nice pose.
