Hello Callie! Wonderful shot. You even know how to make an arty-pic of a Coot. I love the reflection in the water. Thumbs up for composition and POV composition. Well done! TFS.

Well done on this shot. The reflection is well captured and composed within the frame with the blue sky. Interesting picture. Well done on the composition and details.

Brilliant post Callie. I'd never seen the cherries before. I have a few coots to post sometime.
Thanks for this one. Cheers, Steve.

Lovely shot Callie, they are very similar to ours with the addition of the red knobs and the beak looks bluer than our version. Very nice composition, especially with the reflection. Good shot. Thanks for the dedication.

Fabulous shot Callie! I love ultracolorful BG and dark Coot. Not all dark ;-) With red LED on its head :-)

Baie mooi bleshoender Callie. You got a very good image with a nice reflection. I like the shot but don't enjoy these guys.
Very nice post.

Goedemorgen uit het koude België, -9° Celsius Callie,
Bijna een waterhoen van bij ons, alleen de rode kam ziet men bij ons niet, opnieuw mooi in beeld gebracht en zeker de weerspiegeling in het water maakt de foto compleet.
Groeten,
John.

Hi Callie, goeie foto, goed belig en die weerkaatsing is mooi, 2 vrae, 1, Waar het jy die lig gemeet en matrix, spot, centre weighted? Het jy flash gebruik?

Great POV and colours, nice reflection. Good details in the blacks, but I'd have liked the eye to be a bit more visible. However, these chaps are hard to shoot ;-))

Callie, A great reflection & pose! Vertical frame works very well IMO..Very well done!!

I still find them impossible to expose correctly. The white spot are either too bright or the blacks too dark. You did an exceptional job. Lovely compo, including BG and reflections. Fantastic capture, Callie.

Oh! I am late... Congratulations on hitting 5k.
You know Callie, your fame is total here.
I sometimes have the impression that you could simply write "Callie" on a blue BG with a frame all around and post the whole and that you would harvest a heap of comments laudatory as: magnificent image, perfect composition, rich colours, magnificent point of view, excellent subject in its natural environment, colossal wealth of details, beautifull water reflection, etc. But it is only an impression... I hope so ;-)
Thanks my friend for this magnificent unknown bird for me. I only wish to express my gratitude with any simple words and good photos also.
p.s.: I believed that it was only the human beings who were followers of 'Piercing'!

"Beanbags on hide window ledge"? Could that be what I am doing wrong? So, the secret is out, and now we mere mortals, can perhaps experience some of the remarkable successes that you have shared with us! I wish it were that easy, even if I did know what a hide window ledge was... Great photo. Thanks for the many and congratulations on your 5K milestone.
