CommentThe only way to do justice to the Eurasian Coot "walking on water" is to show the bird small in the frame. This is highlighted by the footsteps on the water increasing in intensity as they draw your eyes toward the bird. The calm of the blue background adds to this, emphasising the Coot's aquatic habitat.
