    Default Snails are Good Eating!



    Canon 40D // 500mm f/4
    1/400, f/5.6, ISO 640
    Green Cay (Florida)

    I heard that a couple of these cute little Limpkin chicks were visible so I made it a goal to get a few photographs. It was quite tough to get a good angle through the vegetation and the backlighting added a few challenges as well...but I was pleased with a few of the results! I used the clone brush to clean up a couple leaves and reflections.

    You did very well in an extremely difficult situation. Love the juxtaposition of the adult and the chick. Where was the image made?

    Artie, this was created over at Green Cay in Delray Beach, FL (east coast). The 5 chicks were down to 2 in just a few days...evidently the Wood Storks like the little guys!!!

    Lovely interaction Judd. Your tight compostion works well to focus attention on your subjects and minimize that busy background.

    Default Fill?

    Hi Judd,
    Great to see a fellow Flickr-ite here! This is a terrific shot, handled well in difficult lighting. Did you use a fill flash?

    Hey Geoff, nice to see you here! Yes, I did use fill flash...forgot to add that to my post. I think I ended up using it at -2/3.
