What a sweet image Denise and the exposure is spot on with lots of wonderful detail. Looks like a great trip so far. :)

Such a cute little fuzz ball and I like the intimate and tight composition very well done Denise.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Beautiful composition and white details. Love the expression captured. looks like you had a great trip. looking forward to more images.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Too cute, and looking quite vulnerable. At least it has a parent bird watching it close-by:). I would probably remove the small stubby twig touching the chick's left shoulder (our right).

P.S. to all: Well worth a visit to Denise's blog for a trip recap:cool:.

Really neat image Denise.
Was there just a hint of minus EV?

Thank you all for your kind comments.
Ian, I forgot to write that I shot that in manual. I am guessing that there was probably 1/3 plus EV.

[Ian McHenry]

Thanks Denise
