I have never seen this type of bird before and the babies are ridiculously cute with all those red baby feathers on their heads. It's too bad they will lose that color! The focus on mom is a tad soft but the babies stand out nicely.

Your central composition is strong with Mom and her new babies. Your low perspective aids in your composition. Very well photographed with good lighting, sharp focus, and wonderful details and clarity in your image. Beautiful heart warming image with the babies clinging so tight. I like the storytelling in your scene. Great shot and thanks for sharing!

I thought my crane in the rain looked homely, but these babies take the cake. A well composed image with great colors; it clearly shows the difference between the young and their mother.

Beautiful babies are not the word I would use to describe these chicks! LOL I think because the chicks are so different from the mom you can't help but want to look closely at the image. Very Unusual, with High impact for viewing! WOW! Glad you came across these birds. Nice Job! :o) Nancy

You're right about beauty being in the eye of the beholder. I'm an animal lover but those little guys have a face only a mother could love. Haha. Beautiful picture, I like the center crop on this, and beautiful white and red color. As always, thanks for sharing!
