When its speed is reduced to zero knots than, in our nautical world, we can call it 'station-keeping', Raj, lol.
Perfect shot of this 'mariner'.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
I have never seen a bird like this before. A very nice close up of it. Good detail.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He looks to be enjoying his swim. Not a care in the world, either. Great looking shot, Raj.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
He looks so relaxed, and seems to slightly turning to check things out. Raj, I find them very hard to capture, and never have I got a close up like this. Super duper job my friend. tigs=^..^=

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Amazing, Raj, You've made a coot look good. These are junk birds around here and winter brings thousands.

Life is a Constant Audition
He appears to have a port list (also a nautical term. Ha. Coots around here are black. This one is different.

To a duck hunter, this bird is the least likely to end up on the table, possibly why there's so dang many of them. Their choice of food leaves a horrible taste to the flesh and their response to danger is so limited, hunters consider them the true "bird brains" of the bird community. Many years ago, back when I used to hunt, I once saw a hunter shoot at a small group of them in the water, thinking they were mallards (the light was low). Seeing buckshot splashes within and around the group, I thought they'd be in the air immediately, but they weren't. Instead they paddled in circles, comically looking at each other as if to say, "Did you hear something?" They simply wouldn't take flight and they didn't appear injured, they just continued to paddle. The lights were on but nobody was ever at home. Oy!

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Wonderful capture and love the way you can see the bottom of his bill, head and eye in the reflections. Fantantic

A nice close up on the coot, Raj. Nice details and reflection in the photo. The highlights could be lessened with a curves adjustment.
