Nikki McDonald level-classic September 01, 2007

Good morning--and good capture, Mel. I like that they are both in the same position, like one repeats the other, and the way the pattern on their backs and the ripples in the water repeat one another. Nice play of light and shadow, black and white here. #4730995

Lynne Morris September 01, 2007

Wow this is soooooo neat Mel, these loons are not easy to capture, you did good! #4731006

Ahhh, you were just 'teasing' us!! You DID find your loons! Looks like they were 'ducking', no pun intended!! Camera shy?? PERFECT capture of both of them as Nikki said, "in uniform positions"!! Love the lighting and the rippling of water and the tones here MEL!! What an evening out on the lake! #4733133

Laurie Daily level-deluxe September 02, 2007

I have never been able to get this close to loons before. They see me coming with a camera, swim for cover, duck and then resurface on the other side of the lake. Decoys might be the way to go for me! Beautiful evening lighting, Mel and a fantastic capture!!! #4735400
