    Tells a nice story, Dan, perfectly framed under paren'ts wing. Only thing if you have it might be more room at the bottom for the virtual feet.

    Cute! Perfect sharpness on this little fluff ball. I agree with room below, although I realize there may be distracting grass blades in the way. I would also add some blacks to the mom's tail is it seems clouded as if some OOF object was in front of it.

    Wonderful image. I really like the tenderness of this shot. Excellent feather detail, great pose on the chick, and great comp.
    Well done.

    Hand held Dan? You're getting great use from that 300/D800 combo. Perfect on the chick, and I agree with a little black added to blacks on the mother.
