Nice composition and the whites are perfect, Sandy. Just enough feather development to make them look cute. I really like the pose of the main subject.

I love how ugly these little ones are...so ugly they re cute type of thing. Good job with a BG which is not so easy making look un-busy. Very pleasing all around Sandy. Nice work!
