    These are Green Back Chicks in the nest and thought it may be one that would be a little interesting for some people, it was for me, a kid from Brooklyn
    Canon MK-II-N - ISO=400-f/6.3 1/200th. of a sec. 700-MM.
    All c/c very much appreciated.

    Nicely done. Two good head positions out of three. The iris of the bird in the back needs to be lightened. You did a good job of getting through the mangrove leaves to your subjects. I wish that the light had been even softer.

    A kid from Brooklyn... Where did you grow up?

    Nice work Bill. As Artie mentioned, it's tough to get all three to look in the same direction, so it's nice that a couple of them could cooperate. I like how your viewpoint shows these youngsters tucked into the pond apple leaves...excellent framing. I think the harsh lighting is the biggest problem here. Now that you know the nest location, perhaps an earlier (or later) visit will prove successful.

    I was born on E38th St. and Ave T--Marine Park/Flatbush. Caught my first striped bass at the now site of the Kings Plaza Mall. Played lots of golf at the Marine Park Golf Course...
