Hello Nancy,
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday, and I have enjoyed seeing your wonderful images before. Your shot above is a beautiful interaction between parent and young, in a very difficult background situation. I find it difficult to keep the chick in proper exposure without blowing out the highlites of the adults... especially at this age. Your photo does a great job of keeping the texture on the adult without under exposing the baby. Just as an FYI, this nest is one of the preset locations on our Gator Cam, and is labeled as Egret Nest 1 if you would like to follow the status of this nest. She started out with 3 chicks... but is now just down to the one. Here's a link to the Gator Cam:
