What a wonderful capture Eileen! Love the young chicks and mom's expression is fabulous. Super composition, sharp focus, DOF, exposure, techs and framing. I am sure this will bring decent money!:)

I'm not a big fan of the use of fractals on nature shots, but you have used it sparingly enough to enhance the quality of the pic. Super catch. I'm sure they'll love it. Cheers.

The frac filter adds to the scene, like it. Well composed, focused and framed to show the beauty of nature and family.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
OMG again, your fractalius applications really are very fine and supper elegant enhancing your images in the best way still showing their very natural and genuine body and shape - the way these three are sitting there is awesome - fantastic capture, super composition, excellent angle and distance - seems you are sitting at the border of the nest to create an "insider view point " - fantastic focus and exposure , pin sharp on the leaves - your artistic finalization is magic- initial impact, 100* - great job, thanks for sharing

This is splendid!! I think it will bring in a ton of $$ for a very good cause!

The chicks are absolutely amazing. The focus could not be more perfect. They were the first thing I saw upon opening this photograph!

Even mom's long feathers are glorious!

Wonderful work!
