Just got back from a wonderful morning shoot on Tampabay with James. Here is the first one of the series.

Great angle, pose and the open bill - demanding food I guess - makes this one. What is that he is standing on? I can't figure out the pattern in the rock.

Excellent Sid !!! Those chicks are soooo cute !!! Would only like framing a little different with the chick more on the lower right corner !!!!

[Cheryl Ertelt]

Excellent capture. The sweet light made for great colors and the open beak says its time for breakfast.

Adorable, Sid, you need the infamous cuteness alert :)

Al,
I got to agree with you on framing.

Hi Sid,

I would love to see this image in horizontal.

I really do envy you guys down there getting a chance to photograph all the little ones. This one's a cutie. I too, would like a different composition but all that fuzz and open beak sure is nice to view. Well done.
