Fabs:
Great exposure, calling pose and comp. I like the pink showing through the fuzz. Good shooting angle, very effective DOF.

Cheers

so cute Fabs, you are a specialized chick photographer now! :D :) ;)

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cute little guy, I also like the setting, angle, exposure control and that we can see the tongue.

[Julie Brown]

Very cute capture, Fabs! Great low angle. You were lying prone in the sand for this I assume. As do the others, I like the pose, the tongue, and the pink skin through the fuzz. I also like the DOF. You got such a nice blurred BG at f8-is this due to the compression of the telephoto lens?

[Fabs Forns]

Thanks all!
Julie, I was lying flat on the ground and other than compression, the sand in the BG was very far from the chick, he was on a shell mound.

Looks like it's sitting in cotton. Great exposure and low angle makes it all work.

[Grace Scalzo]

Really sweet, Fabs, love the bed of shells. (Hope this doesn't show up two times)

[Mike Lentz]

Thats a beautiful image, Fabs!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Fabs, loved the use of rule-of-thirds in this one. perfect low angle, DOF an exposure. Thx for sharing. He/She must be really tiny.

[Troy Lim]

Great shot, nice low angle. Exposure looks great. Like the tongue/

[Dan Busby]

Beautiful Fabs (as always!). I wonder if this little birdie thinks it has died and gone to heaven :)

[Stu Bowie]

Super comp and pose Fabs, and I like the show of the tongue. Good job with the overall exposure, and getting down and dirty has paid off.

[Morkel Erasmus]

this is very cute Fabs - love the low angle and perfect exposure.

[Kim Rollins]

Very pleasing image here. Good comp., POV, DOF, and expose seems right on too. Nice to see.

[Kiran Poonacha]

[Hendri Venter]
