    very nice low angle Cheryl, love the cute pose too I wish the weeds were not blocking the view and the details look a bit soft to me, perhaps sharpen a bit more? I would also clone out the weeds on the right of the frame as they are distracting IMO.

    Lovely image! Love the low angle, pose and BG. I don't mind the grass crossing the body but would consider removing the grass on the right. Maybe a tiny bit off the top.

    Cute chick in a lovely setting (lucky floridians)
    Low angle gives a nice intimate look at this young one in his habitat.

    What a beautiful chick! I love the contrast of the vivid green grass against the blue background. I would agree with maybe cloning out the brown weeds on the right, but this is very beautiful as is.

    Agree with Ofer on cloning the RHS grass twig . But , otherwise , I love the waves in BG?? which creates a surreal BG for this cute bird !!

    Such a sweet habitat image. Low the low angle.

    Cheryl - this is a very fine image. I really like the vegetation in front of the bird - sort of gives it a peek-a-boo playful feel with this youngster. Agree about the brown veg. in the upper part on the right. Great low eye-to-eye angle.

    Beautiful capture, Cheryl. I too like the vegetation in front, gives a nice feel for the habitat. Awesome low angle. Adorable chick.

    Thanks all. I do agree and will remove that vegetation on the right.

    Hey Cheryl, getting full of sand has paid off here. Great perspective. The head looks sharp enough, and I would maybe selectively sharpen the body a touch. I like the two tone BG of the surf, and agree a little off the top, and removing the grass on the RHS.

    Wouldn't change a thing - I like the setting it looks entirely natural - "not clinically cleansed" .

    Great image! I would leave as is, looks natural. Nice exposure, sharp, fantastic background. Really like the blues and white sand.

    Gary.
