Limpkin Chick Learning the Ropes

[Marina Scarr]

Watched a pair of Limpkin adults feed their 5 few-day old chicks. It's amazing how young these chicks are when they begin the arduous task of learning how to feed. The BG was difficult to work but it is the environment in which they live. The light however was gorgeous.

Great moment captured. I like the little fluffball. The birds look a bit soft on my monitor and I would blur the BG more. Could you have moved to your right for a better head angle?

Super low angle Marina, and you have captured the tender moment perfectly. I like the light and detail in this too.

I like it! The angle is incredibly low!
