~I dreamt about not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 but 6 limpkin chicks. Dreams do come true, partially. Guess what I saw at sunrise this morning? Now I just need to go back to sleep and dream about this adult feeding the chicks at sunrise, in the open field. Oh well, can't hurt to dream about it.

Love the colors in this, Troy. I like your comp though could also see some cropped off the bottom. Nice pose and look at you.

Sweet light and fantastic bg, Troy! Maybe a horizontal crop with less space below the bird, assuming there was more to the FF image that would allow the horizontal crop.

Great look-back pose, and fantastic colors. I'm torn about the crop; I agree that some off the bottom might help, but would make a squarish proportion. Jim's suggestion of horizontal seems worth a try.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Either a horizontal as per Jim, or some off the bottom would work well. Other than that I love the light, colours, pose.

P.S. I changed your text colour from white as it was not visible against the white BG of some skins...

Yes, it was a horizontal shot. I will revisit.
Thanks for fixing the text Daniel.

Thank you all.
