    I really love the first one with the water beaded on his head.

    Nice images Scott. I love loons. I took a trip to northern Wisconsin a few weeks ago just to try to get some loon images. Are these crops, or were you able to bet pretty close to the birds? I had my best luck shooting from a canoe, otherwise they were too far away.

    Scott, great images as usual. If they were mine, I would be framing the third one for my wall.

    Cheers,

    Hey, that's what I was gonna say!!

    The colour of the lake is perfect imho, and the droplets add a great element to the shot!

    They are all wonderful shots.
