He's being very careful and I don't blame him/her. That water looks cold. Great feather detail in this Dennis with a perfect comp. The deep blue water compliments the Coot very well.

I think this is the sharpest of the three images you've posted. I like the pose in this one. The water is really pretty neat in the foreground.

The feet are the best feature of the Coot, so well done geting them out of water.
Maybe a bit better HA would be nice...
