Superb image with beautiful tones throughout plus a lovely contre-jour effect to boot.

Neil, this is a beautiful photo that did quite well in a very, very tough competition. The water looks absolutely golden! I think the only issue may be the DOF - the OOF area in the back area of the water draws my eye away from the subject a bit in this case. By the way, I'm assuming you didn't mean to add "military" as one of your galleries in this.

There ya go, Neil - we told you it'd be a high-scorer. :) Congrats on top 20!

Beautiful silhouette, texture, & overall composition. When I read the title I thought, "but that's not a loon". The water certainly is golden though.

Very nice. I photographed one of these guys gulping down a fish yesterday afternoon. Interesting birds.

I'm not wild about such a close crop, but the water colors are stunning.
