Another from my home town....For this shot I waited until low tide, then got myself hidden in amongst the rocks under a cam net. HH. ACR and PS2020.

You got all pretty sharp which is very nice for 5 birds and chicks.
I think a bit more color/saturation would look good.

What a great "gang" portrait you got here. All the adults have good head angles, bad luck on one of the chicks looking away, but with so many subjects getting a 100% compliance rate is a lot to ask for! I like the bed of algae they are sitting on. I suppose a cleaner upper edge would be ideal but we do get a context of a far shore being closer than imagined.

I think I remember this setting from before Will?

Looks better here with the wider field of view and less of the cliffs. Pretty, even light and..... it took me 4-5 looks before I actually spotted the chicks.

The specular highlights are a touch distracting but may also be viewed artistically as a positive attribute.

Well done overall.

I like the head Angels of the Birds. Very Nicely done.

Agree cleaner-upper edge would have been nice.

Nice view of these hens i have only seen the males before. The setting is nice. Also like all that seaweed on the rocks.
