I was at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida, walking along Marsh Rabbit Run trail. I glanced to my right, perched on a dead Palm frond were these three Green Heron Chicks. I set up capturing images watching the head angles of the three. I suppose some viewers will wish for a more pure background but it was not to be had. In six or seven years of bird photography I have never seen Green Heron chicks and haven't since capturing this image. I an sure the nest was nearby because these birds could not fly yet but I couldn't locate it. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
Some may have seen this image before but because of the unusually cold weather in Florida recently I have been working through images doing post processing again, hopefully better this time with new knowledge and skills.
