  Nice capture and good comp. The coots bill is blown though (coots are a very tough exposure) and the angle of the head keeps the eye from being being seen clearly (the coot's red eye is a positive to catch in a coot image).

  How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

  Thanks for the tip, Harry. Much appreciated!
  Dave, I'm glad my shoe size is 43 (Dutch standards)!

  Cool Coot. Like Harry says, the whites are bright but easily fixed in Photoshop with Shadows and Highlights function. Well, I say fixed, but really, I need to say improved. Perhaps, they won't be entirely fixed.

  Very nice composition and subject Herman.
  The Coot is indeed a difficult subject to expose well.
