Cold spring morning - loon flap

(1/5) > >>

Randy Stout:
This loon was imaged several years ago on a cold April morn.  The loons had just returned to this northern lake, and were settling in for mating and raising a family.

I floated around with them in my little loon boat, glad that I had dressed warmly , as it was 28 degrees when I put the boat in the water.

Nikon D4, 600 VR. f/5.6 1/640s, ISO 1600.  Fill flash with Better Beamer.

Cheers

Randy

Fons Baerken:
Beautiful like a monochrome.

golunvolo:
Beautiful image, pose and technique. Agree with Fons the almost monochrome quality works very well here too.

Randy Stout:
Thanks folks:

I thought about converting it to B&W, but then you lose that subtle red in the eye, which is such a essential part of a loon!  May try it anyway.

Cheers

Randy

Any thoughts about the B&W vs color? preferences?

ianwatson:
A beautiful photograph, Randy! I agree that the colour may very subtle in your original version but removing it takes away a little of the richness.
