Beautiful parent/child bird shot.

Cute but there's a lot going on here, the grass being so sharp is distracting, if there was a more selective DOF it would pop more I think.

Neat shot, but it has some funky spots where it looks like noise reducers "happened."

Nice capture, but the composition is rather bland.

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

Oh so cute, adorable chick. Sunlight is a bit harsh but not much you could do about that other than shoot it at a different time of day and then you probably would not get this great moment.

Now that is good for any textbook. Color is great. Detail is nice.

A little oversaturated maybe, but a great subject.

Ah the watchful mother. I like this.

using existing light, and not wanting to disturb the subject is always a challenge. just a little more light on mom would have really elevated this image IMO
Post actions
Very cool capture! Mom's face is a bit dark; I'd dodge the shadows and cathclight in her eye, and maybe desaturate her blue/cyan hues to bring out her expression better.

lovely colours on the chicks feathers and the birds head

Lovely nature shot, think I would have like a slightly shallower DOF and a bit less colour saturation
Post actions

And so she gazed upon her newly arrived chick with the love that only a mother can give. With a sense of awe and happiness and confusion and anxiety and joy and any and every emotion possible, all wrapped up into one.

Touching image. I wish you'd processed Mom's eye a bit to bring it out more.

Nice green grass, the lighting is a bit harsh though... cute little bird.

to bad your light wasn't coming from the front...but you know given nature...we work with what we have...excellent shot

nice effort , lightening the shadow areas just a tad for more detail would have helped IMO.6
