Simple, effective and to the point...I like the composition, image and capture Jeff...well done...I like this very much. you have two perfect head angles on the chicks and the motherly presence of mom's legs in close proximity guarding protecting her babies...the color rendition is superb along with the fine, sharp details...good show...looking forward to more...:cool:
