There are actually four chicks under her wings with only 2 are visible. Wishing I had more room on the right side of the frame but...

Hi Ramon, sweet scene here! Glad to see some R7 images starting to make their appearance online! I love the chick dipping its bill in the water - so cute. I do wish the other chick's eye was open. Excellent IQ (image quality), and good low angle. You should convert to sRGB before posting as we get more muted RGB colours as is. Also, if you resize your images to within BPN specs (no more than 1920 pixels on longest side, and under 600kb) you can upload to our servers...this way a thumbnail will be generated for your posts.

Keep them coming, and remember that critiquing others works is all part of the fun too.

Super cute, Ramon! Very nice point of view and nicely framed with lots of space in front of the subject/s. Well exposed too, good work in the field. Love the little ones!

Agree with feedback from Daniel and sincerely hope to see more from you, very well done !!!

Kind regards,

Beautiful lighting and low angle, Ramon. The chicks are super cute! If the current post is a repost with the colors boosted, ten I think it looks fine. Nicely done.
