Really nice light and the framing with the grasses is great. The color is superb. Sharon

Wonderful light, pose, BG, reflection. May just be a coot but it's very nice.

I like it for the reasons stated in earlier comments. Terrific light, good exposure, nice habitat framing the bird and the reflection of the bird. Well done! :toast:

I missed this the first time around Chris but I'm glad to see it now. It's a beautiful image of a coot - a contradiction for some but I like them and you've done them justice here. Congrats on the WP! :toast:
