American Coot

[Tim Foltz]

Canon 1DX • 700 mm • 1/3200 • f/7.1 • ISO 640 • HH

Around here American Coots are very common and I don't usually shoot them, but it was nice to see one in-flight and it turned out to be my favorite shot of this bird.

Thanks for looking.

A very unique in-flight frame Tim, must admit had never seen one flying like this. well done, my only suggestion is to brighten the tail area a bit

Stunning shot.....Blacks could be lifted a tad, but man, this is good.

Love the colours on this image Tim. Tans and blues. I like the way the sky melts into the BG. Have they got blue tips on the secondary remiges? It seems like I am seeing colours no one else is, so maybe I am completely wrong here!

Beautiful!

Very nice Coot flight shot Tim. Not to often do you see these guys flying, and in a nice BG situation so well done there. Keep em coming
