Amazing shots. First class all the way.

If you've cropped them, you might try including a bit more water around them. Or maybe it's just that they're taking up the whole screen as they appear here; but a little relief around them would give them more subtlety, to my eye.

Both are super fine shots. I really like that 1st one for detail and seeing this bird up close. Beautiful work Rick.

Brilliant shots! Loons (or divers as we call them over here) are my favourite birds along with woodpeckers.
