I took this photo on my recent trip to the Galapagos Islands, an amazing place for bird and wildlife photography.

Critiques and comments are very welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Awww, 10++ cute factor Carol!!
Everything looks excellent to me, the picture of 'proud' motherhood..
I especially like how the chicks are 'cradled' on mom's blue feet here

A super sweet family portrait Carol

I like the alertness of one chick while the other seems like it's going dose off. Wonderful details visible in the large version.
