Great Egret, I believe. Nice catch, Sandy.

Great look at this parent and chicks. Lighting looks a bit flat - a change of the WB would warm it up some or perhaps an increase in vibrance (to enhance the greens)

Sandy,
Good to see you sharing again. I am sure everyone missed you as much as I did. This is a nice catch, but on my screen the whites seem to be a bit blown out. Perhaps I need to calibrate again. Let's shoot together again soon.

The whites look completely fine on my monitor Sandy. Love the interaction, but for some reason it feels a bit imbalanced to me. I think the reason I am feeling that is the chick being on the right and your decision to keep the parent in the middle of the frame. If it were mine, I might move this more to the left (assuming this is a crop and you have the room to do so).
