    Sweet picture of returning home and nice species. Would have been even better if you'd have eye contact from all 3 chicks. Indeed nice detail in the whites and one more vote for cloning. Nice work.

    Alejandro,

    Great exposure w/detail in blacks and whites. Definitely get rid of the green on the left edge. Excellent work!

    Sweet light, and in turn, very well exposed. I like the interaction between parent and chicks. Yep eight eyes would have been first prize. I vegatation on the left doesnt bother me.

    Alejandro you did a very good job with the exposure of this bird, lots of details in both the blacks and white areas of the plumage. The warm light of the morning (?) is fantastic but I am not sure about the green stuff at the left. I like a lot the position of the legs and the raised wings adding action to the scene. The branch in the foreground of the nest is a bit distracting because overlaps with the chicken. Muy buen trabajo y bienvenido a bordo!

    :) Well, the bits I understand I feel empathy with. Welcome btw. First time I have seen your work and a wonderful shot to start with.

    Ale, it is very dificult for me to enjoy this shot as I could've gone to that trip but I was left out hahahaahha...
    Not, really, an maazing image of a VERY dificult species specially the natural moment captured it is simply behond outstanding. Light, pose, detail, colors, natural story, all is simply perfect, repost looks great IMO.
    Congratulations!
