Thats a very nice shot Arjan.

I love the controll with the black feathers, against the strong green grass.

Unusual pose he's giving aswell(which is great).

Hi Arjan

Very nice, love the pose and the detail in the blacks. Very minor nit, perhaps a tad tight in the frame, especially at the bottom!

A nice display posture and there is plenty of detail in the feathers.
Looks good!

Would prefer a touch less saturation of the grass but the coot itself looks great.Interesting pose too.
