I don't know how to tell the Male from the Female , but that doesn't detract from the cute inter-action between these two when the little one gets a chill.

This is the female, Joe, and you can tell from the iris of their eyes. The male's iris is round, and the female's is not.
Love the details you have here and the nice low angle. What's up with your AMOY chicks not wanting to open their eyes? They are too funny. I would consider giving the birds a tad more saturation. Looking forward to more family portraits.
Nice capture Joe...Love that chick, low angle and agree with Marina about adding saturation..well done.
Wow, didn't know that , and now I do. THANKS!!! I guess they are just too tired to open their eyes.:eek3:
Hi Joe, good low perspective, and I do like the HA of Mom. Well exposed on the blacks, although I would maybe add back some black there. Good detail on both mom and chick, and comp wise, I would take a bit off the top.
I like the low angle, interaction, sharpness and details. I would take a little off the top as well. Nice image Joe!
excellent capture, great to get the chick with parent.
Very nice Joe. Could be warmed up a bit.

I learned something I never new.
Excellent picture great interaction captured between the mother and chick, Joe.
nice interaction,good detail,nice low angle,agree on warming up a bit .thanks.
Joe - nice low pov and great to get the 2 together with good HAs. Good suggestions above.
TFS,
Rachel
Very tender moment. Nice and sharp as posted. I agree with more saturation, darker blacks, and with opposite HAs I could see more room at left (equal to the room at right). Thanks Marina, that is much easier than to wait for copulation!
Wonderful shot. Love the interaction you captured. Nice shooting angle, exposed very well , and great comp.
Well done.
