This little chick was so cute. Getting a little too big to sleep under mom but she eventually was able to get under for a little nap.

I really like this one Noelle.
Nice and sharp and the grass in the background really adds to this for me. They even picked a open and fairly clean spot for you :S3:
If you don't mind, what was your focal length, and is this much of a crop? Reason I ask is I am surprised that you got this much DOF @ 5.6 at what I am assuming was 500mm or better.

Thanks Neil!
Sorry, I forgot to add my focal length. I will edit and add that. 500mm + 1.4TC (700mm)
Also, I should mention they did not pick such a clean spot, I had a little mess of sticks to deal with.
I am not good on judging crops but I would have to say 30-40%
lovely photo, the backgroung mix a little with the baby, dificult handling the white
Good for you getting an a cute and unique type of pose, Noelle. Like the interaction, eye contact, great low angle, nice light, and the little bit of vegitation near them adds interest.
Well done!
I really like the environmental feel of this capture and the intimacy of the two. The vegetation really adds something special to the capture, as does the behavior. I think you did well considering your light wasn't great. I see a catchlight in the chick's eye, and this really helps the image.
Noelle, excellent exposure on the OC, and you have brought out the detail nicely. Good low angle, and I like how the juvie is peeking from under mom. I too like the inclusion of the foliage.
:S3:
Nice composition and moment; like the plants too!
PS good clone job:S3:
nice image Noelle,good exposure,nice detail in the blacks and whites,nice light.thanks.
Great moment frozen in time, I bet that baby is nearly the size of mom by now. Great job removing all the junk.. your the best at it :t3

Lovely intimate moment. HA on the young one is great and the colors and textures are lovely.
Nice behavior shot and excellent dof in this Noelle. Congrats.
Hi Noelle,
I am late to the party on this image. I love the interaction portrayed by Mom and baby and love the baby's little eye. You did a great job cleaning up the beach. I can't tell there was any PP'ing done. Nice low angle and light. The bit of grass in front of Mom really adds to the shot.
