September 2025 - Golden Hour in the Wetlands
About the Image(s)
Sony A1 600mm + 1.4 extender @ f/5.6 1/2000 sec ISO 1600
I shot this at 8:30 AM at the end of April.
I like the shot because it shows a bit of action, has interesting color and also shows the unusual feet of the American Coot. I doubt that this image would do well in competition because the wetlands have green scum in the water and didn’t produce perfect reflections. Coots are not a popular bird like an eagle and they don’t have flashy colors

I absolutely love this shot. My only suggestion is to rotate it a few degrees clockwise.   Posted: 09/09/2025 00:31:56
