Blue Water Coots

When the other waterfowl are not cooperating, you can always count on the coots. I liked this pair, the red eyes and the blue water. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Jerry,

I not only like the blue sky reflections alos the yellow reflections which fit nice due of being complementary colors. The nearly mirrored poses of the birds are also nice, as it is the technical execution.

Great angle, Jerry, and they gave you a coupleof wonderful head turns for this one.  Very nice.

Excellent. The low viewpoint aqnd the bicolored wavey water add a lot to this image. Good exposire and sharpness. Nice interaction and position of subjects as well.
