Icy Coot
Just getting round to processing some stuff from the cold snap a couple of weeks ago - an early morning trip to a local park lake proved very profitable with several of the commoner species making for interesting subjects in the lovely light and challenging conditions as they scrabbled on the ice for the seed I'd put out.

Wonderful shot of big foot :wavey: Good exposure and nice colors.
It's a good thing you make time to shoot the 'normal' species.
Great shot of this bird Mark.

Yes -I agree with the above. Maybe a tad more room on the left but no big deal

A cracking image that is well exposed with lots of detail & the reflection makes it even better.

Hi Mark, really love the blue colour of the ice surface and as has been said before it really highlights the size of those feet! :wink:

Nice, very nice, perhaps just a tad central, but no real big deal.

Really nice! Exposure looks great and the colour too. I agree a little more room on the left would be good.

Very nice..
