    From the fun weekend in Greece, kerkini lake :)

    Canon 40D, 300mm f/4 + 1.4 II, ISO 400, 1/2000, f8, -1/3, 95% crop of the frame.

    PP: some clone outs of the water bubbles, levels, S/H, USM, NR.

    Wonderful double action shot! The coot in the BG is just being a bit unlucky, bit I love the photo.

    I agree for the second coot but couldn't successfully remove it from the photo without sticks out a mile :(

    I hope you don't mind me messing with your photo. If you copy paste the right hand side of the photo it will give you enough material to remove the other coot. I only took a couple of minutes, it would look allot better with more time and a larger file of course. It is a great capture indeed.

    excellent work, indeed! :)
    I have to reconsider some of the tools I use, though I generally manage well with the clone-outs :)
    thanks for the try! :)

    Nice repost by Rod that has put this image over the top! Since that much work has already be done I'd go a step further by eliminating the vertical streak in the water, and dodging the catchlight on the gull. Superb action Nikolay - thanks for sharing this!!

    A very unique image that captures the essence of everyday life for these birds and of course the fish. I like the reworked image a lot and the suggestions that came after.

    The repost helps this image a lot and I agree regarding the vertical line that could go, too.

    The gulls just don't give the coots a break anywhere in the world do they?!

    Outstanding image and rework!
