Cool image. Ive never seen a white coot. You did a good job not blowing the whites......however in the process of doing so the overall image is quite dark.....I'd do some curves adjustments in PS and brighten this one up a touch :)
Fascinating bird. I've never seen an albino coot before. I think that the background could be a bit lighter and wonder if a crop taking a bit off the top might enhance the low profile.
Awesome capture Alexander. My firsrt white coot and you did an excellent job on the exposure of the whites but I agree with Axel about lighting up the BG with curves. Thanks for sharing !
