Loved the wild feathers and coloring on these coot chicks. Took this back in April at the local lake. CS5, Topaz Detail, toned down BG, touched up eyes, cleaned up some spots.

Thanks guys for the feedback, much appreciated.
They are pretty ugly! To see their sweet interactions with eachother and mama were priceless. Chad, yes, this was a big crop, thus lost some IQ, but wanted to highlight their faces. Would love to get a 500 or 600 some day. Here's the repost with some more space.
Cute and colorful but with the huge crop image quality is very poor at best.

Thanks Artie, the share factor overtook my better judgment on doing such a big crop! I'm going to take this over to the OOTB forum and have some fun with it.
