Getting up 4:45 in the morning only to find that the fog is on the lake is not my idea of a good start to the day. Nonetheless, we took off in a boat to explore in the hopes that the fog would dissipate. While slowly moving through the fog, we came upon a Common Loon in a small clear area. We watched him for a bit, and he performed by stretching his wings. Because he was in the clear, the sunlight reflected off of one wing, but because the clearing was small, the trees on nearby islands were a bit obscured. I really liked the sense of depth given by loon in the foreground, the better defined trees on the left and the less well defined, more distant trees on the the right.View attachment 70476

Wonderful shot

Thank you so very much, Steven! I like the light on the wing because it shows that the loon really was in an open spot in the fog, rather than appearing to be so due to heavy post-processing.
