Growing Like a weed - Common Loon chick back riding
« on: June 28, 2017, 04:07:22 »
This common loon chick is three days old in this image, and has already grown a lot. Getting harder for both chicks to ride at the same time.

Advice and comments always appreciated

Cheers

I am not sure about the crop.
It is a spectacular image.

Lovely!  I really enjoy the horizontal crop.  The homogeneous and complimentary colors combined with the mother/child is very peaceful and pleasant.

I also like the long horizontal crop but maybe would prefer a little more head room vs space at the bottom.

A bit more head room would be nice.

Thanks everyone for your input.  I do have some room above.  I experiment with different crops so that I don't get stuck in ruts quite as often.  Sometimes it is an improvement, sometimes not, obviously.  :(

I will revisit this one.

Cheers
