Hi Fabs,
I love this type of image, the OOF FG gives a dreamy feel to the picture.

I agree with Adams. I love this one alot!! Looks like a desert sand storm passing through :-) I know you prefer lower contrast but I would be tempted to add just a bit here.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Lovit love it love it... I am sorry, but that light, that comp, the detail, exposure control and specially the mood on this shot all together are just superb! Congratulatinos amiga!

[Ed Cordes]

I agree a dreamy feel and a wonderful eye! Love the colors. Thanks for sharing.

[George Scott]

Sweet image - I love the mood and light quality. Awesome!

Cute little guy and great details and angle. Was it stormy? I'm wondering what it would look like with a slightly lower color temperature.

[David Thomasson]

The very picture of fragility. Beautiful.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Very nice light and that cute factor! Really well composed too. Congrats! :)

[Stu Bowie]

Cuteness factor 10/10. Lovely soft light and colours, and well exposed too. Great image Fabs.

[Dave Barnes]

Love the pastel colours captured.
Can I have one to take home? (As my daughter always asks )
Absolutely Fab---ulous Fabs.

[LouBuonomo]

Awwwe... That is really sweet, I like the look of the blurred sand. Can't wait for the piping plover chicks here on LI

[Chris van Rooyen]

Sweet! Lovely low angle as well:-)

[Ilija Dukovski]

Sweet, it also has water drops on the plumage,
Great one!

[Arthur Morris]

Love the low angle "in heaven" look. A real killer for sure. Wish only that the eye were opened a bit wider.

[Mike Lentz]

IOTW!!! Very well done! If I were down in Florida these are exactly the type of images I would be working on, just wonderful! I'm a clone guy, so with that being said I might clean up the beak... nothing major.

[D. Robert Franz]

Excellent image Fabs......

[Juan Aragonés]

Fabs I cammented on this image in FN but I can resist to write another post here because I relly love this one. Fantastic in this sweet scene and terrific low angle. I will not change a single pixel in this file my friend.
By the way, you did very well devoting this image to África, the young photgrapher girl in FN, I think that is a very encouraging detail her. Way to go!

[Arthur Morris]

Hey guys and gals: what is FN?
