I was at the loch on Saturday when I noticed this coot chick appearing lost in amongst aquatic plants, which must have felt like a forest to the chick I managed to get this shot as he walked past an opening in the plants. He was reunited with his parents shortly afterwards

Thanks for looking

Your image brought a smile to my face, nicely captured Will. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful composition Will - small in the frame works very well and the photographic narrative is clear. Good one. Regards, Ian

Will agree with above comments, like this one.

The bird looks too sharp to me and the eye looks strange. There is an OOF blob behind the right leg next to the reed sticking out directly behind that leg. THe perch looks odd too, really smooth and just not right. I have seen many great photos from you, but this is not my fave.
Hope you're OK with honest feedback.

[William Dickson]

Thanks for the comments guys. Hi Akos, Of course I am ok with honest feedback, thats the only way I learn, infact, I wouldn't be where I am now without critical feedback

It's a cute Coot chick. Good find and nice capture, Will.

An appealing image, the logs look a little smudgey in parts - have you burned them?
