Coot Scoot

Previously posted in out of the box. Light coming from behind me and to the left, shadow behind the bird, I exposed for the whites and let the blacks drop out in spots.

I like the dramatic setting and that I can differentiate the bird bird from the BG almost totally. Cool foot and water splashes. TFS, Kerry.

Kerry, Beautiful dramatic lighting really adds to this image IMO. I love the open wings and the water splash.
