    Default Favorite funky chick...

    As I was watching two not quite yet fledged tricolor chick nest mates, the early morning sun was covered by wispy clouds in the east just as the older and bigger chick poked at this runt. Up went the hackles as this little guy prepared to hold his/her own. The lower light level allowed good saturation for viewing all three colors for which these herons are named. In the first year they are mostly the chestnut/rust color, as they fully mature they are mostly the blue/grey also seen in patches here. Those scraggly feathers are the chick feathers they will soon lose completely.

    This one was processed with sharpening DPP=0 and smart sharpen 90,.5 for web presentation. I love these blackdrops (copyright Jack Backs)...

    As always thanks for your valued comments, critiques and discussions. Please keep them coming.

    Looks great against that dark background or should i say blackground. Detail looks very nice as well. Just wish for more room.

    Fabulous detail and color.
    I don't mind the tight crop because it shows more of the fine detail.
    Being picky, the tip of the beak looks a little soft.

    Let's not miss the forest for the trees. Yes, it's a nice "blackdrop," but seeing as clearly as this the passing coloration of Heron is what really matters and that is the accomplishment. Close enough to be a mug shot, we're not going to forget this scrappy little brother! Dave Harwood
