    Superb John, I love everything about this one - the light, the pose, the POV and the bit of environment

    This is a winner! the foliage in this one adds the perfect amount of context without distracting from the subject or scene. Great light, nice n sharp!

    A beauty, John. It's sometimes hard to acquire focus on fuzzy little chicks, but this has nice detail, wonderful touch of greenery and beautiful soft background.

    What a beauty, John! Love it! POV is awesome and framing is great, love the colours. The vegetation adds to the image. And chick is really cute:)
