I like the low angle and great interaction here, image is a bit soft though, I would have cranked up the ISO for more shutter speed.

Ditto Arash on softness and ISO suggestion. Typical coot behaviour well captured. Stands out well against the BG due to the nice low capture angle.

Like the action - agree with above comments. I would also see if you can bring out any more detail in the bill of the bird on the right.

Excellent action captured, and great suggestions above. Agree on trying to get more details out of the darks.
Love the motion feeling of the feet, looking forward to more.

That is almost identical to a shot I have. Uncannily so! lighting, angle, colour of the water, pose of the birds! :eek:
