Very nice. Looks like you got pretty close. It's amazing how far they can swim underwater. :)

These were from about thirty feet Mitch & are virtually full frame (maybe 10% crop for leveling & composition). They have been recorded at depths of 200' and can stay under for about 90 seconds.

Like I told you earlier, I love them and think they could be your best yet.

Oh Scott...these are gorgeous. This is one that I sure wish was around here when they're wearing those beautiful breeding colors.

Brilliant shots! Nice work on getting so close and getting such nice captures. The only time i've seen a diver (or loon as you north americans like to think of them) was years ago and quite far out in the sea. Must say i'm rather jealous!

Thanks Sharon.....the hope is to get a shot of a chick on mom's back, however that will have to wait as this pair has apparently not nested yet.

Thanks Cameron and it was a thrill to get so close. I hope you get to see a 'diver' again..... up close real and soon.

I love the colors and feather patterns, you did a marvelous job... you nailed the resolution on a difficult bird to shoot.
