As common as coots are, I've never seen chicks - funny little bald things!
Great to catch two of them, both in focus.
Exquisite water, too.
Hard to tell with the non-parallel lines, but it might need a touch of CW rotation?
Excellent image!

Only a face a mother could love I guess and great to get two with nice detail. Love both the reflection and the water color, very nice KC. New glass?
