This little chick was so cute. Getting a little too big to sleep under mom but she eventually was able to get under for a little nap.

I really like this one Noelle.
Nice and sharp and the grass in the background really adds to this for me. They even picked a open and fairly clean spot for you
If you don't mind, what was your focal length, and is this much of a crop? Reason I ask is I am surprised that you got this much DOF @ 5.6 at what I am assuming was 500mm or better.

lovely photo, the backgroung mix a little with the baby, dificult handling the white
Good for you getting an a cute and unique type of pose, Noelle. Like the interaction, eye contact, great low angle, nice light, and the little bit of vegitation near them adds interest.
Well done!
I really like the environmental feel of this capture and the intimacy of the two. The vegetation really adds something special to the capture, as does the behavior. I think you did well considering your light wasn't great. I see a catchlight in the chick's eye, and this really helps the image.
Noelle, excellent exposure on the OC, and you have brought out the detail nicely. Good low angle, and I like how the juvie is peeking from under mom. I too like the inclusion of the foliage.
nice image Noelle,good exposure,nice detail in the blacks and whites,nice light.thanks.
Great moment frozen in time, I bet that baby is nearly the size of mom by now. Great job removing all the junk.. your the best at it

Lovely intimate moment. HA on the young one is great and the colors and textures are lovely.
Nice behavior shot and excellent dof in this Noelle. Congrats.
Hi Noelle,
I am late to the party on this image. I love the interaction portrayed by Mom and baby and love the baby's little eye. You did a great job cleaning up the beach. I can't tell there was any PP'ing done. Nice low angle and light. The bit of grass in front of Mom really adds to the shot.
