    Caught this little guy bottom feeding early this morning (they will eat most anything). I hope I have the black/white exposure worked out OK. A very slight crop, a double dose of selective NR, some USM and other tweaks . . .

    Hi Wendell, trying to photograph a Coot in bright light is a brave act and you did well with the exposure here; I love watching these guys antics and mostly try to capture them in softer light.

    Wendell, Great job getting the details in the coot. I like the pose and the water color. Very well done.
