Harry,
Congrats on the full frame image. Very nice head turn and reflection. Pretty calm water for Morro Bay. This is tack sharp Harry particularly if you look at the larger image. I've only seen a Loon once and didn't get a good image of it. Harry, it was nice seeing you the other day at San Joaquin. The weather has been terrible for several days but let's get together when this series of storms clears out.

Wow! Full frame, you must have been pretty close even with your lens set to 400mm! Lovely colours, wonderful subject and the rippled reflection works very well too, nice work Harry :^)

Kind regards,

Ashley

Good job getting the loon FF Harry. Nice head turn, sharpness and comp look good and I like the bubbles in front of the bird. Some of the neck whites do seem a little bright to my eye.

The rippled reflection is a nice effect here, Harry. Good work on the ff.
