Hi,
It's an image from a few years ago. Today, i would give a little more room around the bird!
Thanks for looking and suggestions,
Cheers,
Wolf

Beautiful bird and image. Agree with your self-evaluation, but still a top image.

Great exposure of the dark plumage (although a little dark on my screen) and I like the bit of color in the water.

Nice head turn perfect exposure on the blacks and the water color with some red in it is great, Wolf.

Nice strong eye contact Wolf.The open bill adds a little more to the image as well.

Thanks for looking,

Very nice picture and the room around the bird is not important. The exposure is perfect and the BG is nice.

Beauty. I have trouble photographing coots and getting the blacks right. And I love their blood red eyes. This one is great, Wolf!

Best,

Matt

Lovely shot...superb water color reflection..eye contact..yes some more space was required left side. And a bit lower angle would make the shot more interesting..But still it is a superb shot. Well done.
