Thank you so much for all the feed back on the shot I posted yesterday. I felt so encouraged, I had to go back and see if I could at least get a shot with the coot in focus!

I spent about an hour freezing to death until a coot showed up.

Comments always welcome.

Well done, I took a similar shot recently, all I have though is a long trail right across the photo and the coot is nowhere to be seen ! Smashing colours and reflections in this. Click.

Works fine even better..than yesterdays but I would sugguest you to flip it horizontally having the coot on the right side it is easier on the eye to run across a picture from left to right an even more when you start on an empty space and end up on the main subject..Just a little way to reinforce it. Well deserve Click.Great Great Work.

Personally I think this works better with the Coot on the left. Better than yesterday's.

Both pictures are good, but having the coot in focus does add something. A great image.

I prefer this shot. I also think that the movement of the coot fits with the way I read an image, so I like it as it is. This would make a great wall hanging,

Danny - hee hee! I only mentioned wildlife because it's the only area you're not bloody brilliant at - judging from your portfolio that is. Apart from the fish of course . . .

I like this better than yesterdays seems easier on the eye, BTW image would look good without the coot as a sort of abstract.

Another cracking shot. The fact that the bird is in focus makes an already good image into an outstanding one. I particularly like the way you get the feather detail even in a low res image.

Just lovely - now where did say that pond is?

Its the reflections that grabbed me when I saw your first shot, they are just magic.

Ok its good with bird too, and left or right makes no difference to me.

You've got something special here.

Well done on persevering, its paid off.

WOW!
Superb - although you might be classed as a bit of a coot yourself for waiting about so long! LOL!

Thought I would have a look at your portfolio after you had commented on my Windermere picture. I obviously did not see this when posted - it is a brilliant shot with wonderful colours. What a good portfolio you have.

Where do reeds grow that tall? It's got symetry, colour; and matching frame!
