 Not as easy as it looks.
Held one of our five-day-old chicks in one hand and shot with the other. Basement window light.
Cropped.
Resized.
Converted to sepia (Mainly because my hands had second degree burns from our house explosion, and I thought voters might say 'the hands are too red'). ;)
Adjusted contrast.
Sharpened, then softened a bit.

Thank you all for your kind and helpful comments. Sorry about the tone...I do see a little green in it, now that you mention it.

This is a great shot and the expression on Mr. Peeps face is classic. The oly thing I find that I don't like is the coloring. It has a green cast (maybe my monitor but I don't think so) and in any case would pop more IMO if there was more color contrast.

He doesn't look like a happy camper. Good tonal quality and sharpness. Intersting background with vertical lines. Nicely lit.

Nice idea, composition, and cute. Feels a little dark, consider bumping up the levels overall, especially the midtones.

Love the tones that was captured. The sapria feel is a nice addition, focus is sharp,with exception of motion blur on the chicks foot

I like this moment. The tint of the photograph is distracting to me however. Too green for my tastes.
