    Nice look back HA with great EXP control for details in the blacks and whites and Love those feet. Only wish for lower angle. TFS

    Hi John, sorry this image lacks interest for me, setting, water with weeds, and messy spit of land. The pose on the coot keeps the head and neck in shadow and i miss seeing the details there... I'll look forward to another coot of yours as there are many coot available for coot portraits! TFS

    I would take some off at the bottom. Crop it such that water below the logs is removed from the frame.

    I wish for cleaner area near the feet as I love the feet of coot.

    I have to agree with Ann. I never shoot a black bird on/near water on a cloudy day. It just produces a dull, flat image.
    The little weeds in the water are not pretty and I would clone them all out.
