Jim this is so lovely!! The composition and your exposure is terrific. I love the BG. Cuteness factor is off the scale!!!
Absolutely a precious image. Love the story that this capture relates. The composition is outstanding as well as wonderful detail, lighting and exposure anmd of course great low angle. Love this Jim !!!
Lovely image Jim. I really like the exposure, angle, details and of course the mother & chick combination. I might like to see the shadow of the chick on the mother slightly less dark. I'd still be pleased to have this in my collection.
Great mood, angle and details. The blacks in the seaweed are blocked.
Re: Blocked Blacks in Seaweed
Dynamic range of that camera body (and most others) being what it is, one either has to hold the highlights and loose the shadows or vice versa in scenes with high dynamic range. I don't know too many digital bodies which would handle a range that wide and successfully cover both extremes.
As the subject had high luminousity value highlight areas, those were far more important than worrying about blocked shadows which weren't on the main subject.
I agree with you Jim about the blacks. The light, close to the nest, excellent feel. I love the warm glow.

What a lovely composition, details and light. I don't have a problem with a realistic shadow IMO.
Excellent work!
