Courting Coots

I liked these courting coots. I thought the amber water with the blue reveal was interesting. The fact that I got both coots in focus was also a plus (smile). Comments and critiques welcome.

That brass and blue water really makes this one sing, Jerry. I like the pano crop for this image, too. Amazing detail in the dark plumage.

Nice shot Jerry, although the coots seem pretty centered. Can you move them to the left a little to balance the frame. Water looks great.

nice twosome Jerry. Good DOF, and all techs look good to me. Good idea on the pano as well.
