My money's on the Alpha, but I hope they all make it!

I like the view of the nest and the chick. good exposure. the feather details in the whites are a bit lacking and the I wish we could see the adult's eyes too. the environment is a bit cluttered but typical of a nest

Very nice environmental shot David. Love the chicks' eyes looking out. Some distracting bits, but I'm ok with them. TFS

Killer good on the chick; the two white oof birds to our left of the adult are a bummer :)

with love, artie

Thanks for comments and suggestions. Yes, Artie one of the many challenges in getting a clean shot in this environment is the other birds. Rest assured I continue to look for great light and light angles , clean backgrounds and engaging interactions. Fun challenges for sure.

Hi David, agree with above comments and your self-critique. Overall a noticeable improvement and happy to see you posting.

I like that we can see the other two chicks low in the nest - how cute! A pretty clean view of the nest. If mine I'd likely remove the leaf touching the chicks head + one or two more from that cluster. Good call on the vertical composition.

Hi David, you are really improving your rookery images. Lovely image of a wee Wood Stork. Thank you for sharing.
