Karl, very nice eye-level POV with dreamy warm BG.  Lovely mood and image with the side-lighting evoking the first light stillness and the feeling of quiet sanctuary.

That red eye really pops, an excellent shot of this underappreciated bird.

Amazing shot. I can never get good shots of the Coot. Superb framing and background. I love the low angle.
