Well, I just have to say that Baby James is truly cute with his long legs and big feet, and his feathers also look extremely soft. I am sure he was looking at you when this photo was taken. The all grey background looks great and Baby James is standing out from it in an excellent way.

The photo is very sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is perfect.

The cropping is working well and the bird has got a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a sweet and well taken photo Eileen, and with an excellent DOF.

Those legs are crazy! This guy is very cute. His fuzzy textures stand out really well in this shot and the colors look good. His face has nice detail and he's just so cute!

Baby James is adorable and looks like a stuffed toy with his fluffy feathers, he is well focused , the image is clear, exposure is well managed, his color tones appear natural. I especially like the way his feet are pointing in the opposite way from his head, nice detail throughout. Well composed and presented!

A very nice shot. You don't often see one at such a tender age. I like the pose that shows that beginning of the classic flamingo bill and the muted color palette. Best of luck in the contest.
