They are all excellent, and the combination of the clean dark background, the red eye, and the young one behind that gives a feeling of depth makes the first one really special.

Love the third one, but others are no inferior!

They are all delightful but the first one is truly exceptional!

Masterly handling has retained all of the texture in the blacks and the darkest tones while nothing has been lost in the details of the white feathers.

Bob:

Very nice set, agree that #1 is the most dramatic.

Chicks appear to be ~2-4 days old at this point,  very cute!  When and where were these taken?  Our chicks are sig. older at this point, having hatched about 6-15.

What was your shooting set up?  Obviously from a boat, but I am always curious about the details, as I spend a bit of time with loons.

Look forward to more.

Hi Bob- Beautiful as always! Quick technical question, do you dial in any exposure compensation to avoid overexposing the white feathers?

yes... while i shoot aperture priority + auto ISO most of the time... i constantly adjust by dialing in or out exposure compensation.

i do shoot manual + auto ISO as well.. but since it still uses the meter, i am constantly adjusting for a given situation using exposure comp.

and of course, i was protecting the whites whenever i could.
