Welcome Frank and thanks a stack for your membership support. Lovely chick, head angle, pose, and setting. SH and EXP perfect. I think that cropping a bit from just above your signature would tighten it up very nicely and put more emphasis on the bird.

Hi Frank, good low angle, and I like the soft plumage on the little fellow. Nice and sharp, and Artie stole my thoughts on the crop.

Such a delicate little fella. Nice water, sharpness and pose. +1 for cropping from the bottom.

Lovely image. Another vote for cropping from the bottom and I would also do a slight CCW,

I thank you for the tips, now with more cropping. I think it looks much better.

You are welcome sir. Thanks for being open. Your crop removed some of the sweet looking water and the neat reflection.

Frank, your second version is excellent. I was about to suggest to crop the bottom white portion when I saw you had already done it. Great picture.
