A great example of how lighting conditions impact water here. It works really well in this photo though, bringing out the best features of the loon and giving the viewer a real sense of being there in the moment too. Well seen and captured, Debra.
Thanks for your comments Heather. After taking a few pictures and reviewing them in camera I checked my camera settings as I thought something was wrong. I played with a few different settings but ultimately the water still looked colourless. It was nice though to watch the loon fish for a while.
Very close to a black and white shot, Debra! The spots on the loon stand out well. The roughness of the water also contrasts well with the calmness of the loon.
Yes I thought it was very close to b & w as well. When first looking at the image I converted it to b & w. The loon looked really striking but the water looked better with a hint of colour. Thanks for feedback Harold.
Nice shot at the loon Debra. Like the kind of black and white effect. Bird is well detailed. I see some but they never come close enough. Well done.
Thanks Yves, yes very very close to b & w. It was a dreary day with only the odd moment of sun. There is usually a couple of loons come into the bay later in the afternoon looking for fish.
