Awesome comp Craig. Without knowing about the "beggar" it's a very touching (pun not intended) scene. It does have a very strong cyan cast on my monitor.

Emotional scene! Nicely done!

Excellent, and the color cast fix really works well. Love the reflection too.

Awesomeness Craig! The new post is just fantastic. The moment you captured (without the true story of the begging :wink: ) looks very tender between the hen and her chick. I also really like the room you added on the left. This is one of my fav PBG shots I've seen.

This one should be a great seller for cards and such, if you're into that. Superbly timed shot with much appeal.
