    Although the chick is not in focus, I really like this picture b/c it helps to depict just how different yet similar the chicks and adults actually are.

    I like what you're seeing here, Marina. It's a story worth telling, even if the conditions weren't optimal (the chick partly hidden, partly out of focus).

    Marina:

    I think the image is very effective. It tells the story well. The poses are close enough to work well together, I like the rich brown on the adults head, and the matching whites on both.

    Cheers

    I like the idea here Marina and the light on the browns of the adult. I would have loved a bit more dof on the adult and think the chick has just enough to get away with it. Real sweet to have included the baby for comparison.

    An apt caption this is. a well composed image and the techs are spot on to get both the birds in focus.

    Beautiful--and educational--image, Marina. I really like this juxtaposition and the eye contact.

    I love that the chick's head is parallel to the adult's. EXP spot on.
