I like the scene, pretty neat! The coot posed in a good angle for you, and allowed for a glimpse of the huge feet which is always nice. A bit more noise than what you should see on the coot - perhaps the image was underexposed to protect the white forehead? Speaking of noise, I would not apply NR (or very little) to the leaves as they are smoothed out too much. I like the placement of those leaves above.
