Thse guys are so fast across the water, especially when they are chasing one of their own. A lower angle wasnt possible.

A beautiful and useful shot showing how a coot gets itself airborne. Your exposure and shutter speed seem just about right.

Stuart, loved the DOF here. good call on f-stop. Coot run is not very easy to nail. Very well done.

[Chris Kotze]

Excellent action captured and super exposure and detail

[Pieter de Waal]

Stuart good action and splash trail well captured here. Nice exposure and sharpness with good detail in the blacks and wings. I allways love the activity around these guys.

Great action and I really like the "water trail" behind the bird.

[James Salywoda]

Sweet bit of action captured Stuart I too like the trailing water splashing it really adds to it.
