Jamie:

Nice shooting angle, head angle, composition and exposure.

The chicks are about a 2 weeks old on the northern lake where I go. In years past they have had to renest, so the chicks were quite delayed those years.

Good luck!

Angle, eye contact and composition look very good. The whites could go a bit brighter for my taste.

Excellent Jamie Like the overall feel and great detail in the dark feathers, might want to darken the pupil a bit not sure if it would make a difference for this species !!! Sweet !!!

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice profile and good looking eye. I love their tuxedos. Very nice composition.
