Just watched a program about Einstein and gravity where he had difficulty in unifying gravity and electromagnetic forces - he should have asked this coot!

Wow! LOL! I assume it's standing on a rock just below the surface. Great capture!
No digital manipulation - the bird is stood on top of a metal post just under water. Lots of birds take turns standing on it.
Being black and white, coots can be difficult to set the right exposure for. This was shot 2/3 of a stop under to avoid blowing the highlights on the white feathers on the beak. Although the beak looks over exposed on the posting there's plenty of detail on the original.
Thanks for everyones coments.
Francis
