I took these two photos of an Eurasion Coot at my local Botanical Gardens. Taken with 70-200mm f/4

They seemed to have lost the detail in their eyes when I reduced the size so I have posted a link to a larger size as well.

1. Notice the size of the fish (species unknown)! They were huge!

Those are HUGE fish! I'm worried for the coot. :lol:

The angle for these two shots are a little too steep. Normally when shooting this type of bird swimming, lower your camera as close to the subject's level as possible. ;)

That fish is a Carp, and they get to grow much more than that. Good thing they are herbivores. Nice capture.
