[James M]

Nice set and so sharp!

[seanm]

All superb Sindri, of a stunning and unique looking bird.

[Reyno]

OUSTANDING!!! 1 & 5 are just fantastic. Very well done Sindri.

[Mr. E]

wow- what a cool looking loon! I love the touch of red they have on the throat and in the eyes. What would you think of the first shot in black and white except the loon?

[luckyart60]

Nice series of captures

[dancad]

The whole series is great, but number 4 is something special. Awesome low angle to the first four of them.

[Keith R]

Excellent, Sindri.

Truly gorgeous images, love the low angle perspective, colors and poses! I only see Red-throated Loons here and in their plain winter plummage, this is a real treat! :) And the little chick is a real bonus, too cute!

Nice shots... Great detail in these shots... Wonderful job!

[begovics]

Yes, all the photos are amazing, but the most impressive thing for me is the angle. Like you were holding the camera just above water. That gives something special to the photo.

[canonloader]

Wow, just great shots. Love the little fuzzball. :)

[Stephen Stephen]

Stunning shots Sindri!

[Gary Fairhead]

Awesome series Sindri.

[dazzlebea]

I'm so glad you finally decided to share these, Sindri! ;):) They are awesome and awefully cure (however, the last one might be a bit over-sharpened).

[pttenn]

Wow-you must have had your scuba gear on to get those low shots! Amazing! I can't pick a favorite.
