Good exposure and details. Nice eye contact. Another fantastic imm shot.

So cute Denise I love the little rise in the wings and the perch this little one chose to stand on a beautiful shot for sure.:)

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Dennise,
Very cool pose on this fluffball! Just enough detail in the BG to compliment and not over power the scene! Very nicely done!

[Stu Bowie]

Denise, I like the overall exposure in this, and good to see the little guy trying to use his wings.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Never saw one. TFS. Love the pose on the little one. Fine exposure on what could have been a tough shot with all the white stuff around.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
Joe, I have never seen one either. I also have some images of younger chicks that I will get around to posting soon.

[Gal Shon]

He's very sweet.
Pose, exposure and eye contact are great.
was a lower shooting point possible?

[denise ippolito]

Thank you all for the comments.
Gal, If I went lower I would have had a messy BG. I chose to kneel.

[Gal Shon]

That is a very good reason :), Thank you.
