    Difficult to control the whites with this sort of shot, but cute subject

    I love "spider mommy" shots.
    The moment is very sweet but the whites are blown on the (birds') right cheek.
    Because you are so close ( Ft Myers) to these sweet birds I think you have to go back and get this one with the right exposure and without bands. I know you can do it!

    Always amazes me they can do this and see nothing but their legs, bright whites as expectable in this kind of environment, but I dont really see anything blown out badly, and can still see some detail in the white on the bird

    Nice capture and nice low angle. Loos nice and sharp, good DOF. Agree some of the whites, especially on the face, are hot.

    A little bright but this is one fine shot of the little ones hiding under mom.

    Wonderful shot.
    Excellent low angle, I really like the pose of the mom and all those extra legs.
    It's a tad bright, but still a great shot.
    Well done.
