    Default Great Blue Heron and Chick...

    I captured this at Circle B Bar Reserve, Polk County, Florida last January. I was out to the location earlier this year but the nest was gone, most likely the high winds blew it down.

    Love it ! I see you have the same lens and camera combo I use too !!
    I reckon a bit off the right and left wouldn't go amiss. Lovely sharp shot and the spanish moss is great. Wish I lived somewhere like that !!

    It's always nice to shoot pictures of mother and chicks. This is a nice image, sharp, and you handled the exposure well. The shooting angle is a bit steep, but there wasn't much you can do about it unless you have a longer lens. Loi

    Great hairdo, and love the open beak on the chick. It looks like the lighting conditions were tough, but handled well. I agree with Johnny about a little off left and right.

    Nice looking nest. I would love to see more room on the top and move the subjects by trimming more of the bottom and on the right. It is too centered.

    I like the handlebar hairdo, chick, sharpness and moss. Good composition suggestions above. Nice image Joe.
