I like the pose, angle and droplets. The image looks a bit soft on my screen and the whites seem to be a bit overexposed. If this is RAW, you could try highlight recovery or curves in your RAW software. The suggested size for posted images is 750 pixels on the longest side.

Thank you for the suggestions. I take note of the remark concerning the size and correct it the next time.

I'd love to see this from the front, but I suppose one can't pay them to do what we want.

As is, it doesn't really do much for me. The details in the wings don't stand out enough to make this one from behind.

What a thrill it must have been see this loon and the action is wonderful. Personally I would like to see more of a head turn and catchlight in the eye. Other nits have already been mentioned.
