What a wonderful family portrait. Love this John and it is a first for me. I have not had the pleasure of seeing BCNH chicks. Awesome to capture the whole family in such a lovelyly setting. Love it. If there was enough canvas for a tad more room at the top it would be good .
Very nice family portrait, soft light, details and interesting setting. Is the nest on a cliff and if so, how far up is it? I'm wondering about the chick's first flight attempts.
Thank you both for the kind feedback. And yes, the nest is on a cliff about 25 - 30m above water. Haven't thought of how they would attempt to fly. I think they probably can crawl up to the top the cliff - probably 3 - 5 meters. That's at least how one of the herons approached the nest a few times. Should be interesting to watch though.
Great capture, I have never seen a family together before. It does feel a bit cramped at the top and the plant behind the head of the adult on the left is a bit unfortunate. I love the colors and texture of the adults.
