If she going to hatch in on the ground? Wish her the best of luck !!!!!

You nailed the exposure and pose Just wish it had much more room all around !!!! Need to check out the gardens !!!!

Oscar,
Great exposure and great details on your whites...:) But the bird is too tight in the frame, especially on the top...:D

[Julie Kenward]

I agree that the shot is tight but I really like the subject and the great detail on the bird. Loosen up the crop and you've got a wonderful photo for mother's day!
