What a wonderful capture! The technical aspects look right on to me, wouldn't change a thing. The youngsters are gorgeous.

Techs look right on the money Barb, excellent DOF & details in the whole family here

I especially like the comp, and the 'spatial' relationship of the birds..
Very endearing, very well done

Great photo. Wonderful shot of the little ones, the best I have seen of egret babies. Nice job.

One of the cleaner Egret nest shots I've seen. They are usually much more cluttered. Love the comp.

Great to get them ALL in perfect position!
Excellent exposure, sharpness, and nice habitat.
Very well-done!

Great capture Barb! Does not get better than this. The way they stand out from the bg gives them a 3D effect.

Very nice, Barb. The chicks always look sort of goofy, but I like their different poses here. Great family portrait.

Very nice frame! Those chicks are a riot! Love the fact that you have the them looking in (from the sides) and still see the eye of the middle one! Super!
