In northern Michigan, this is usually the time when the loon chicks are hatching. But because of a late ice melt on the lakes, they seem to be running behind in most areas. So, I turned to a bit closer venue to capture this image.
D810, shot with monopod leaning out over the edge of my pond, Sigma 180 macro, f/14, ISO 1000 1/30 second, polarizer.
It had rained most of the morning, and a captured this just after it stopped .
Very slight crop for comp and leveling.
Minimal post processing.
Cheers

Nice colours - no obvious penalty from using ISO 1000 to compensate for the small aperture and polarizer. Interesting to see how much depth-of-field you can obtain from the 180 mm lens. Looking forward to loon photos in due course.

Thanks John:
Always nice to have a pond in your backyard! The loon pics should be arriving soon!
Cheers
