I captured this image of Great Egrets chicks last year at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida. I haven't been there this year, too busy cleaning up after winter and temperatures below freezing in January. Many tropical plants needed to be removed and replanted with something more tolerant to cold temperatures. Anyways, work is mostly done so I should be getting out to do photography. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joe,
I love the scene and the excellent DOF and the 3 great HA's.
The whites look very odd ie. seem very greyed-out. Did you have to do a lot of highlight recovery?
I wouldn't mind a bit more room on the bottom,

Hey Gail, thanks for viewing and commenting. Looking at the image again, you are right the whites are hammered. Probably a couple things... display needed to be calibrated and the new Lightroom update and getting used to that. Thanks for pointing that out, love a second set of eyes. Here is a do over.

Nice natural looking interaction shot and yes the repost looks much better. Well done
