    We went over to Gatorland to see The bird Rookery. It was full of Great Egret Nesting, some had hatching eggs and small chicks.

    hi Robert,
    The mohawk haircut of the chicks brought a smile to my face! Is this cropped? If it is, I would give more room at the bottom and the sides to try to get all the flowing feathers of the egret. I wish we could see the faces of both chicks and that the stick was not in front of the chicks,

    You did a good job telling the story with your capture. If it were mine, I would have to evict the branch going right up the middle from the bottom. It is quite distracting and it's difficult to discern whether it's a branch or the adult's leg at first glance. It would be easy to remove with the J tool. Agree on more room at the bottom if you have it. Like the feathers over on the left and how the adult is looking down at her brood. In a perfect world, would like to see good head angles on both chicks but this tells a good story regardless. So often one of the chicks is heading the wrong way!!!
