Coot in nice water and light

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

40D. 400 f5.6L at f/6.3. iso 400. 1/1000s.

Nothing special.. liked the light and the water. I had my eyes set on this patch of calm water and was hoping the Pintail would swim by. didn't happen but as usual a Coot obliged.

All C&C welcome and appreciated.

Great image Kaustubh! I like the calm water, sharpness, exposure. HA and of course the low angle.

Looks special to me. You managed to keep detail in the black bird without blowing out the water or the white beak.

This is beautiful. Has a very peaceful feel to it.

You did an amazing job with IQ and exposing for the blacks. Great low angle. No nits from me,

Nice detail in the blacks - lovley water colour - wrong species it sounds like.

Very obliging coot to swim into that lovely patch of water. Perfectly exposed, plus your signature low angle capture. Beautiful shot.

Photo has a very nice, soft and calm feeling to it. Good for you. Color scheme is excellent and really like the exposure. Nothing wrong with this Coot.
