Low Down Coot

I have always liked this shot but think I have screwed it up by framing it wrong.

Any comments most welcome as always.

Hi Ian,
I would be pleased with it too.
I would crop it to level the horizon as your water is running downhill to the right and take the opportunity to move the bird to the right though. I personally think it could stand an adjustment to the levels and a little saturation.
Excellent PoV.

Very nice Ian. I agree with Eric's comments above. Exposure is very difficult with these birds and there is bags of detail on this one. White crown a bit blown but that could be my monitor or the compression.

The low angle works well in this caseIan, and I agree with the other comments. never an easy bird anyway.

very nice shot, i like the wet front, also agree with the above comments though

Looking at it the horziontal looks ok(just the smallest amount off!) its just a small curve in the bow wave which makes it look off,a good shot of a coot!Look forward to seeing some interaction shots or running shots next!
