American Coot

Taken at Radnor lake with the 30d, 600mm at 1/400th f/5.6. I think the algae gives it some pop .

Nice. I got shots of dozens of these on a lousy, rainy day, and the results were not worth posting, but this one is fine.

Incredibly good shot of the American coot and the surroundings go perfect with the coot and taken with a very powerful lens, well done.

Good shot, and I agree that the algae adds some interest to the image.
