Coot

Firstly, thank you for the responses to my previous Hare photo! It's always appreciated.

School has been snowed off all week, so I've been out every day with the camera! Yesterday I went over to the local marsh to see what was about, but it was all frozen over and nothing was there! So I went to the river, and only half of that was frozen! There were a few ducks and Coots on it. Here's one I managed.

EXIF:

Canon EOS 30D, Canon 300mm f/4.0L IS USM + 1.4x TC
1/200, ISO 200 @ f/6.3

C&C Welcomes & Appreciated,

Thanks again,

Craig...

Excellent detail in what is often a difficult subject. I quite like the composition but the image could do with a slight rotation to get it level. Nice one Craig.

Lovely. Great colours, angle of view and pose. Did you mange any with the coot a little closer, thus softening the background just a little?

Hi Craig

very nice shot with plenty of detail

Minor nits re the slope on the water and background already covered.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I've done a little rotation in PS, I hope this is better.
I do have some more with the Coot closer, though they're not 'technically' as good.

Thanks again,

Craig..

Ah.. I seem to be having trouble adding an image to my reply.. can anyone help? Thanks!

Love the composition and the low POV,brillant detail and exposure,lovely looking image
