    found this little guy this morning on lover's key. there are a ton of nests and a few newborns. everything is roped off for their protection, which i think is great so you take what you can get.

    D300, Bigma at 500mm, f/11, 1/1600s, -0.3EV, ISO 500, flash fill with no bb at +3.0EV.

    comments and critiques are much appreciated.

    Despite the small size of the chick in the frame this is an effective image as it perfectly depicts their fragility. Two inches higher by you would have made it a bit better (perhaps).

    What a special image Harold and how exciting it must have been to see this little one. He looks like he has his eyes on you, Many thanks for sharing and love the low angle.
