    Who know they had Coot feet?

    This is low light in shadow exposure, not great...

    Superb pose Dan, I've never seen a shot like this before. I'd also not have guessed it was ISO 6400 until I read your intro. A slight shame the full reflection is not there, but no deal breaker - a great shot

    Ditto Mr. Poole on all counts. It is very rare seeing those guys out of the water at all.

    Love this Dan great capture. I have been shooting these guys all summer but they never come out of the water rarely. I knew what the feet looked like I have some on land. They can not walk legs are so far back.TFS

    This is great. Very rare to see this let alone photograph. Image quality looks very good.

    Very nice moment Dan. I agree with Mike on the reflection, but a great capture regardless. Didn't know they had such big feet.
