Coot
1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/1250s, f6.3, iso 250.

I was looking for an action shot of a coot, as I think they are hilarious. This was the only one that was reasonably sharp. :frown: Focussing on one coming straight at me was beyond my skill! I'm not happy with the OOF reed on the left.

Very nice image, the read is atad distracting but made up for by the overall image.

All the best

I think that is superb. It gives a real sense of environment. I am not at all bothered by the reeds, although the diagonal Oof one is a shame. Great PoV and action. really good exposure control too.

Hi Ian,

Cracking capture! I don't find the OoF reed of the left distracting!

Nice image, Ian - I like the low angle. If waiting for action, why not up the iso to 400 ?
