Beautifully exposed shot! Great details in the blacks in hard conditions. I like the pose and the low angle. I think you have been a bit to quick in ps while reducing the noise. It looks to me that there is a halo around the birds neck and that you lost all detail on the water so that it is never in focus. I understand that you want to highlight the bird but this just makes it unnatural for me.
Pretty cool image here Dan! I love the overall dark tones. There is a small discreet pale patch touching the coot's head that I would certainly touch up. Other than that all is super.
This is beautiful I really like the lighting and the colours super detail in the bill and in the dark plumage. Evern though the image is dark overall I think this would make an excellent print.
Much better than the thumbnail suggests. This is great Dan. Tons of detail and a neat dark mood, even if it isn't at night Well done
