I hope you win the contest you deserve it. I like very much the green color under white down babies. You are lucky to get their different positions and a lovely mother protecting them only "taking an eye"

This is such a lovely and sweet scene, and I am so sorry I have sun out of 6 stars ratings, because this photo for sure would be worth it. It is also an excellent entry for this contest, and will be pretty hard to beat. You have my vote.

The white birds are standing out so sharp and well defined against the background, and it is clear details to be seen in all of them. I also think the exposure is spot on.

The framing is just perfect and the parent placed off to the left and the little ones off to the right, it is a very good balance in the composition. Indeed a sweet, beautiful and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

The middle child's lament - "Ma! is my hair always going to be like this?"

It is rare that I see these large birds with their young. This is an excellent take with a great story.

The WB for this take is exceptionally well calculated. The down of the chicks is well displayed and easily seen.

This has such great human interest - family.

This capture has significant visual impact.

This is a superior entry in this contest ... B-)) Bob

Absolutely beautiful! I love the little ones feathers and delicate features. The mama is so watchful over them too, it is a delightful image. The composition is great and I do love the contrasting colors of white and grey. Thanks for sharing this.

Living in Florida gives us year round opportunities to observe these birds. I have studied them now for 12 yes and it never gets old from eggs to adulthood.
This is an excellent Capture and I am very pleased to see white balance Controlled so well with fine eye clarity and sharp focus.
Looks like a winner to me.
You do fine work..nice to have you here.
Good Luck ;)

    Thank you very much for the great review! I don't live in Florida, but sometimes I wish I did so that I would have more opportunities to photograph the beautiful birds there.

WOW...this is quite an impressive image here!! Such a wonderful entrant for this contest.

Focus is spot on crisp....I mean how perfectly detailed are those little guys!! ....as well as their nest. Actually, it's well detailed throughout. Your whites are clean. It's well exposed and nice job w/ timing....you've presented it w/ all of the little guy's faces showing.

Well you definitely put this shot together very well. It's wonderful. Best of luck to you w/ it in the contest.

Deborah

This is a realistic, perfectly colored, and skillfully executed piece. You have brilliantly captured the bird family in the nest. Very apt for the contest! It is captivating. Good luck. A virtual SIX for this. Wish I had one to give you!

A cute family portrait.
Visually balanced with a diagonal framing.

Amusing facial expressions as if they're trying to impress their mom.

Dark verdant backdrop pops out the subjects aesthetically.
Tall format works well here.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...
