Aw this is beautiful! These guys are so serene looking and the way you painted him is gorgeous. Love the crest.
On the note of barely looking real, loons seem so incredibly fake to me; always have. When I would flip through an Audubon Society Wildlife book featuring the birds, I would just stare at the loon and I swore the picture was fake.
This is the best looking one of the whole set ^_^ Not that the others were bad, but the look of the drake is just so damn sharp, and it really goes with the whole setup just gorgeously.

(Pretty black-and-white ducks rock my socks. I also love Buffleheads and Goldeneyes, when we get them through.)
