Coot
Took this last weekend, fingers crossed for some more of the same lovely weather this weekend! Taken with the 1DMkIIn and 500 f4L with 1.4x, f/5.6 1/1000, +2/3, hand held from hide.

The water colour caused by the reflected reeds is very nice but i find the bird a bit too small and central in the frame

Nice colours but as Dave said, a bit small in the frame for me personally :toast:

Just a bit more to the right for the coot would be good.

I quite like the size of the bird in the frame, and the sense of habitat with the reed-bed in the BG. I like the contrast with the colours too.
