In the midst of a hard winter, it is fun to look at images from the springtime! Won't be too long now.

Brilliant image with super details, love the low angle and that little grass strand show how small the chic really is. Awesome stuff!

Sweet image, perfect shooting angle and I love the little leaf in front. Very nice one, Grace.

Top notch, Grace. What a cutie in the high key sand. The included green leafy sprout is wonderful.

Terrific minimalist photo, I would enlarge just a tad and crop off the right to put the chicks head in the "thirds" point.

Hi Grace, cute little fuzz ball, and I like your low angle of capture. Overall well exposed, and it looks like the little guy is eyeing out the small green plant.

[Robert vanMierop]

Like this one. The bird seems so vulnerable...out in the open. Cool feel.
