This is beautiful. The position of the adult and babies is picturesque. I really like that spread of the mother or adult. The little ones appear as if they are safe.

Welcome indeed.
Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
This is such a pleasing photo. It shows such love of a mother and her young. The colors of lush greens and pure white with just a hint of light blue that accentuates the wings is very pleasing to the eye. Definitely a winner in my eyes.

Comment from Easton Bay
This is truly a serendipitous and very charming photo. The composition is right on and it is in clear focus. I especially like the striations in the wings along with the wispy back feathers.
The colors are lovely in the morning light.
The two chicks look like they are happy to be under their Mom's umbrella.
Bravo!

In the heartwarming photo, a mother egret stands tall and vigilant, her wings outstretched protectively as she guards her precious goslings. Great looking photo. Fine timing. Good luck in the contest!

What an excellent capture Timothy! And how lucky you are to have the opportunity to see and photograph an egret's nest.
Beautifully focused, showing lovely details in both the mother's wings and the two chicks.
Exposure is spot on giving excellent natural colour.
Very good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much! Yes, I hope this wins. It has been forever since I have had a win, but I have 3 of my best entries put in this summer. This one just won first in a Shoot the Frame entry.
