Wow, this one really shines in the world of all of the chick shots that are coming in. Its on the move and I love the colors and the detail all over including the legs. These babies have huuuuge bills! Nice job.

Angle, walking pose and sharpness look good, I only wish the chick were angled toward you.

Michael:

Nicely exposed, composed,shooting angle,pose.
Agree about the bird angling away a bit, but it is so strong otherwise, it still works very well for me.

I might consider toning down the specular highlights behind the bird by the bill.

Cheers
