Very nice that you found a nest that is separated from the busy backgrounds. At f/10 that is amazing. Did you do any pp blurring? I love the intimate parent-chick portrait.
Thank you Susan. No post processing except a slight levels adjustment to bring the whites down a bit, dodged the parent's eye, and sharpening. Just worked to find a spot where I could get in tight and eliminate as much clutter as possible. Not an easy task at that place.
Good choice of aperture to get both birds in focus Grace. And the BG still looks nice. Love the pose of the baby! I might sharpen the adult's head feathers a little more.
Thanks everyone for looking and commenting, Denise, the look on the parent's face cracked me up. Those chicks are so aggressive and she really had enough of it for a while.
